A. PROCEEDINGS UNDER THE ACT FOR THE
BETTER LOCAL MANAGEMENT OF THE
METROPOLIS.
During the year terminating March 25th, 1860,
420 Notices of Orders were issued. The required
improvements have in every instance been carried
out by the parties liable.
The Owner of the house No. 14, Paddington
Green, having neglected for more than twentyeight
days after Notice served on him to construct
a Drain and other works therein mentioned, the
Surveyor was directed on the 5th of April to construct
and complete the same, which was accordingly
done, and the expenses subsequently recovered
at the Marylebone Police Court.*
The following is an alphabetical list of the
principal Streets and Places in which Sanitary
Works have been carried out under the Local
Management Act, in execution of Orders issued
during the four years ending December 31st, 1859.
*The following is the method of proceeding adopted by the
Committee: A Notice, of a purely preliminary character, is first
placed in the hands of the owner or occupier, in which he is called
upon to execute the works required within a given time. Should
he not think it expedient to comply, the Committee, before proceeding
to any compulsory measure, requests his attendance at their next
meeting. In the event of his failing to attend, or to give satisfactory
reasons for non-compliance, a second Notice, of a formal
and preremptory nature, is served, which is the initiative of legal
proceedings.
