In view of the lack of general support shown in the
opinions expressed the subject was temporarily abandoned
by this authority, but has subsequently been revived by the
London County Council, who have recently asked for the

Section 54 of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, those
contained in Sections 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 68, 69, 70, 72,
73 and 74 of that Act, and in accordance with the instructions
of the Health Committee, I submitted the following report
which was directed to be forwarded to the London County
Council:—

Public Health (London) Act, 1891.
