London County Council are preparing a scheme to provide tuberculosis
dispensaries over the whole of London, and to deprive
Borough Councils of all control over these institutions, while
calling upon such Councils to provide the necessary funds to carry
on the proposed dispensaries.
The Council passed the following resolutions with regard
thereto:—
(а) That a very strong protest be made to the Local
Government Board, the London Comity Council, and the
Insurance Commissioners, against the attempt that is being
made to infringe upon the rights and duties of the Borough
Councils in this matter.
(b) That a copy of this resolution be communicated to the
Local Government Board, the London County Council, the
Insurance Commissioners and the other Metropolitan Borough
Councils.
If in agreement with Resolution "a," I am to suggest the
expediency of your Council adopting a similar resolution.
Yours faithfully,
T. Holland,
Town Clerk.
The Town Clerk,
Metropolitan Borough of Poplar.
The Public Health and Housing Committee recommended the
Council that the protest of the Chelsea Borough Council be supported.
The following copy of letter addressed by the Local Government
Board to the London County Council was forwarded for the information
