Depositing of Plans ok L.C.C. Schools.
During- 1912, the question has been raised as to the
legality ot the London County Council refusing to deposit
plans for the drainage of new school buildings within the
Borough on the ground that such depositing is now unnecsary,
having regard to the provisions of Section 3 of the
Education (Administrative Provisions) Act, 1911, exempting
school buildings from building by-laws where plans have
been approved by the Hoard of Education. The question
was raised in May in connection with the enlargement of
the London County Council School in Cormont Road. The
London County Council refused to g-ive way and the matter
was referred to the Metropolitan Borough Councils' Standnig
Joint Committee, with instruction to take such steps as
may be deemed to be necessary bv such Committee.
