A. PROCEEDINGS UNDER THE ACT FOR THE
BETTER LOCAL MANAGEMENT OF THE
METROPOLIS.
Between January 1, 1857, and March 25, 1858,
784 Notices of Orders were issued. In every case
opportunity was given to the parties on whom the
Orders were made, to show cause against their
enforcement. Such cause was shewn in respect of
38 Orders for Drainage, issued under the 73rd
Section of the Act, and was deemed by the Committee
so far satisfactory as to justify them in
sanctioning delay in the execution of the works.
In all the remaining cases, with the exceptions
stated below, the required improvements were
voluntarily carried out.
In respect of the Orders Nos. 386, 542, 1296
and 1297, the works have been executed by the
Vestry in accordance with the provisions of the
73rd Section. In three of these cases the expenses
have been recovered from the owners of the
property by the Vestry, and in the fourth, proceedings
for recovery are now in progress*.
The following is an alphabetical list of the
principal Streets and Places in respect of which
sanitary works have been completed in execution
of Orders under the Local Management Act,
issued during the two years ending December, 31,
1857.
*The expenses have since been paid.
