The County Council are to provide and maintain
proper accommodation for the holding of inquests, and may
enter into an agreement with a Sanitary Authority for the
use for such purpose of any building belonging to such

held either at the Vestry Hall or in the Board-room
at the Union Offices.
The County Council may provide one or two places for
the reception of unidentified dead bodies, and retain such
bodies and clothing and articles found thereon with a view
to ultimate identification. A Secretary of State is to make
regulations for the use of such places. (Sec. 93.)
Underground rooms are not to be occupied except under
certain specified conditions, which, however, may be dispensed
with or modified by the Sanitary Authority either
absolutely or for a limited time. Any requisite required
before the passing of the Act is not to be dispensed with.
An appeal lies to the Local Government Board against
the decision of the Sanitary Authority upon an application
for the requirements of the Act in regard to the
occupation of the underground rooms to be dispensed with
or modified. (Sec. 96.)
The duty of reporting the unlawful occupation of
underground rooms is transferred to the officers of the
Sanitary Authority. (Sec 97.)
