If the County Council should think it right to frame
regulations for the whole Metropolis, I would venture to
suggest that before they be adopted they should be submitted
to the criticism of the different vestries, or of their
Medical Officers.

Note.—I have thought it right, as a record of our
proceedings during the year, that the above report should
be added in the appendix to my annual report. But
it involves an error. Before writing it I applied to the Local
Government Board in order to ascertain certainly what had
happened with regard to our proposed regulations submitted
to them in 1883, and was informed that they had received
their sanction. Subsequently it was ascertained that this
was an error. It became necessary, therefore, to resubmit
them to the Local Government Board. This was done. And,
after conference with their legal adviser, and the introduction
of various amendments, which received the approval of
the Vestry, the regulations as amended received the sanction
of the Local Government Board on the 31st of March, 1890.
I have added the amended regulations in place of those
which were actually sent with my report to the
London County Council.
