This recommendation was adopted by the Vestry.
(Committee, April 5th, 1893).
Introduced by Mr. Knowles.
Provides as to examinations for registration which will
be placed under the jurisdiction of the General Council,
representing the Master and Operative Plumbers, the
Plumbers' Company, and the general educational and
sanitary bodies of the United Kingdom, with branch
councils in Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Proposes also to
give the Council power to promote technical education
amongst plumbers, and to exercise discipline among
plumbers whose names are enrolled upon the register.
(Committee, Progress, May 31st).
Your Committee resolved:—That the Vestry support
this Bill.
Introduced by Sir Charles Dilke.
It is proposed by this Bill to abolish plural
voting in parish polls, and for the use of voting papers
in all local elections, and also to abolish all qualifications
for local authorities depending on property. The effect
would be to require a uniform ratepayer's qualification
for all local authorities, except those for which (as in the
case of the School Board) no qualification is necessary.
Second reading, Wednesday, March 25th.
Your Committee resolved:—That the Vestry support
such Bill.
The Vestry approved this Bill.
Contains the same as the previous Bill,
but provides that women who are not ratepayers
shall be qualified to act on Boards of Guardians as
they are qualified to act at present on School Boards.
