THE SANATORY ACT

We believe the public are not precisely aware of the
proviiions of the Liverpool Sanatory Act, which came
into operation on the Ist instant. To assist our fellow-

townsmen in carrying it into operation, we propose to give
here its leading provisions.
The act commences by repealing all previous acts of a
local character, taking care that it shall not have a retro-
spective effect; and, at the same time, vesting the autho-
rity of the various boards, whose powers are superseded,
in the Council, by whom it is in future to be exercised.
All officers under the old acts are to be recompensed for
loss of office; and the expenses incurred by the Highway
Board, in procuring fresh acts, are to be paid by the
Council, as are those incurred by the Toxteth Park Com-
missioners. C

A- minutes vi we proceedings in tne ward extending
over some years ; alscr letters that had passed between the
parliamentary agents of the Commissioners and the
Birkenhead and Claughton Gas and Water Company ;
and, finally, the report of the Committee. The meetiiig
was, however, of opinion .that . the publication of these
documents in detail would be as yet premature, as two

ruses from 18 to 32 relate to the appoint-
ment of officers, &c. ; and clause 33 provides that the
Council shall direct a map of the borough to be made on

the desir

of the Co]i

of gas and water for, the district, and that they were 1(

ing their bills and seeking powers to purchase the com-
pany's works—wishing to make the purchase in the fairest
manner. Mr. Highfield wished to know the proposed
basis of such purchase ; stating that it did not appear to
the company that it would be beneficial for the inhabitants
that the Commissioners should have the exclusive supply
for the district. Messrs. Lloyd and Wain next wrote to
the Clerk of the Peace for the county, for a copy of the
accounts, of income and expenditure, and the clerk replipd
that he could not find any abstract of such account. It
next appeared that the Gas and Water Bills havirq
deposited in London, on behalf of the Commissione, L..
Woods and Forests had deputed Messrs. Goldfinch and
Rennie to hold an enquiry at the Town-hall, Birkenhead,
on the 18th instant, with reference to the same, Lloy d
and Waln wrote again to the Birkenhead Gas and Water
Company on the 29th of December, stating that the Cc

IL wy a , ft must
be not less than three feet ; and, if ilextending footwaay hundred
yards without being intersected, the width must be four
feet. Clauses 51 to 60 are the ordinary highway regula-
tions. Clauses 61 to 77 direct the effectual sewerage of
the whole borough. 78 and 79 empower trustees of turn-
pike roads and owners of land without the borough to use
the sewers on making compensation. Twenty-eight days'
notice is to be given before commencing sewerage works
in any street, and a plan and section lodged in sur-
veyors office upon a scale not less than one inch to sixty-
six feet for the plan, and one inch to two feet for the sec-
tion. Section 81 gives power to appeal.
Clause 82 directs house-drains to be made wherever a
sewer of a sufficient size and proper level passes within
30 feet from any part of a house, on service of 28 days'
notice ; and no house can be erected or rebuilt without
proper drains if required by the Council, such drains to

of the company as established under their . Parlia-
ment, and that the company had failed to comply with
the act in lodging their accounts annually with the clerk
of the peace, and requesting copies of their accounts from
the passing of the act. Mr. Highfield admitted, in reply,
that he had omitted to send au abstract of the accounts
to the clerk of the peace, and promised to send it without
delay. He contended that the company had adopted
every measure which could be for thelenefit of the in-
habitants, and he alleged that they were willing to effect
any additional advantage which could be fairly pointed
out. The company, he said, had laid out their capital
solely with a view to future advantages, which had nat
yet been, but which would be hereafter, realized ; and,
cankdering that hostile proceedings had been taken
against them by the board; they had no other resource

the lowest floors of such hOuse and of its areas, water-
closets, privie's, and offices. Fourteen days' notice is to
be given of an intention to build or to drain, and a plan
deposited with the surveyor on a scale not less than one
inch to every six feet. In default, the Council can cause
such building to be demolished or drains to be relaid.
Where a house is rebuilt, the level of the lowest floor
must be raised sufficiently to allow of the construction of
such a drain as is required in the case of new erections.
No houses are to be rebuilt in which the ground-floor is
not made six inches above the level of the adjoining foot-
way. House-drains or branches may be made by owners
of property, to be approved by the surveyor, or Council
may contract with them to drain. Vaults or cellars shall
not be made under streets, without the consent of Coun-
cil.

again to the company, on the 31st ultimo, stating that
their clients would be happy to arrange a conference as
early as possible. Mr. Highfield, in his reply, of the Ist
instant, begged to say that the accounts sought for should
be furnished, and suggested that the chairman of the
Commissioners and Mr. Wm. Jackson might have a con-
ference without prejudice to either the board on the one
hand or the company on the other.
Mr. TOWNSEND read the report of the Committee,
dated 16th ultimo, to the effect that as an abundant and
cheap supply of gas and water was of great importance,
they had commissioned Mr. Hawkesley to make a profes-
sional survey of the locality, and that his report Would, in
a few days, be submitted to the board. They then refer-
red at some length to the early proceedings which had taken
place with reference to the supply of gas and water to the
township, and to a remarkable omission in the lease, 'that
at the expiration of fifty years the existing gas and water
works were to revert to the Commissioners. They denied
that the Commit•sioners had parted with any power to

cesspools, and privies are to be kept in good order, or
after 14 days' notice Council may repair and recover the

supply water, and they contended that the time had now
arrived when the supply of gas and, water ought to be
under their control. They were of opinion that the charge
of 7s. Gd. per thousand feet of gas, had already yielded
considerable profit, and recommended the board to apply

cost. Un giving 24 hours' notice, the surveyor can enter
and take up and examine drains, privies, and cesspools.

Mr. Lloyd then read the title of the first bill, which was
as follows :

premises to cleanse or repair such places, and recover the
expenses. Owners may be required to construct a privy
and ashpit, with proper door and covering, where the
Council or Health Committee may think it necessary, for
the use of the inmates or occupiers ; and with the consent
of the Council one privy may be allowed to serve for two
houses. In future, however, no house is to be allowed to
be built without a properly-constructed privy, with a fun-
nel or flue to carry off any offensive stench. Parties neg-
lecting to construct or repair privies, after one month's no-
tice in writing, are subject to a fine of five pounds, and ten
shillings per week while the default continues. Public

Mr. W. COLE seconded the resolution.

In future, no house is to be erected within the borough
without at least one room on the ground-floor, containing
108 superficial feet, clear of any stairs or staircase, or any
other reduction, save one chimney-breast and fire-place
therein, or which shall have any rooms therein which be
in any part less than B,feet from the floor to the ceiling,
except in the cellar, which, if used for habitation, is not
to be less than 7 feet, and if not is to be 6 feet. The
attic rooms must have either a span of not less than 14
feet at the spring of the roof, with a clear height of
12 feet from the floor to the ridgetree, or otherwise a
clear height of at least 2 feet 6 inches, measuring
perpendicularly from the floor to a horizontal line drawn
from the lowest spring of the roof, with a clear height and
space from the said last mentioned horizontal line to the

Mr. BARBOUR said he supposed that it was under-
stood, as had been agreed upon at the meeting on Satur-
day, that in obtaining the Act, the commissioners ex-
pected that the committee would take every poSsible pre-
liminary measure to bring about an amicable arrangement
with the existing gas company. • • ,__
Mr. W. LAtnn.—.-Yes ; it was agreed. that Messrs.
Lloyd and Waln should consult with the solicitor for the
company, as to affecting an arrangement.
Mr. LLOYD said that the gas and_ water committee
must meet again pro forma, in order that the last letter
of Mr. Hightield should be laid before thetas ; which had
not yet been done, in consequence of its . beinc, received
only on the morning of the day on which the general
committee met (Saturday).

Where there is an excess of height from the floor to the
lowest spring beyond the two feet six inches, the space
between the said horizontal line and the lower side of the
ridgetree may be reduced, but not more than double such
excess ; and there shall in no case be less than eight feet
from the floor to the lower side of the ridgetree. No
attic shall be allowed in any house of less than three
floors above the basement, and unless some part of such
attic is higher than the spring of the roof ; and no house
shall have more than one attie.

The motion was then put to the vote, and carried una-
nimously. _

—Alr7Lloyd then read the title of the second bill, which
was, "A Bill to authorise the Commissioners for the Im-
provement of Birkenhead, Claughton.-cum-Grange, and
part of Oxton, in the county of CheSter, to establish Wa-
ter Works, for the better supplying the inhabitants thereof
with water •, and to purchase the existing Water Works of
the Birkenhead anti Claughton Gas and Water Company."
He proceeded with the clauses, in the midst of which,
Mr: Pm' entered the room, and, after waiting for a mo-
ment or two, he arose and interrupted the solicitor by
stating that as he had not heard the whole of the proceed
ings, he should wish that his name should not appear as
being present at all, or taking any part in the responsi-
bility of the measure, because he did not approve of their
going to Parliament at present on the subject.
Mr. TOWNSEND agreed to keep Mr. Pim!s name out of
the minutes, if he did not intend to stay; whereupon Mr.
Pim withdrew from the room.

In every inhabited room there must be one external
window of not less than five feet in heart, and three feet
wide, clear of the sash frame, or the area of which is fif-
teen feet. Attic and cellar windows may be not less than
three feet square; or nine feet area ; and all windows must
be casement windows opening on hinges or pivots, unless
the sashes are double opening at top and top and bottom.
Clause 122 provides for the appointment of a medical
officer of health ; and three following clauses provide for
whitewashing and purifying of houses declared by him to
be unhealthy, the appointment of an inspector of nui-
sances, and the regulation and inspection of lodging-
houses. As we have already, however, gone to. consi-
derable length and detail, and the bill contains 2.31
clauses, we must postpone fora week going through
the remainder,

Mr. LLOYD then continued reading the heads, of the
