THE BOARD OF WORKS
FOR THE
St. Biles District.
The year 1891-1892 has been one of considerable importance
to the Metropolis, or as it is now more properly designated,
the county of London, the coming into operation of
the Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1890, and the passing
of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, having caused very
considerable changes in the law relating to those matters.
The year also witnessed the election of the second County
Council for the administrative county of London, and so
far as the division of which the St. Giles District forms part
was concerned, resulted in the return of Messrs. A. C. Ranyard
and J. F. Remnant in place of Messrs. Alfred Hoare
and T. W. Maule, the latter of whom did not seek re-election.
The measure which has been so long promised for
dealing with the subject of district councils has not yet been
introduced into either of the Houses of Parliament, and
having regard to the legislative programme for the present
session, there seems little likelihood of the consideration of
GENERAL REPORT.
The Past Tear.
