Metropolis Local Management Act Amendment.
This Bill is brought before Parliament under the authority of the
Metropolitan Board of Works; and the Committee (appointed by
the Vestry) considered that some of the Clauses in the Bill were
objectionable, especially those proposing to give power to the
Metropolitan Board to levy contributions on the several parishes
without the least reference to the benefit to be derived by the
parties charged — and also to give such Board an excessive
power over the Assessments and Valuations of the property in the
Metropolis.
A Petition against the Bill was presented to the House
of Commons.
