SCHEDULE to which this Act refers. MIDDLESBROUGH. Provisional Order for the Application of the Public Health Act to the Borough of Middlesbrough, in the North Riding of the County of York. GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH. WHEREAS, upon the petition of not less than one tenth of the inhabitants rated to the relief of the Poor of and within the Borough of Middlesbrough, in the North Riding of the County of York, and within the boundaries of the said borough, as fixed for the purposes of an Act passed in the sixth year of the reign of King William the Fourth, intituled "An Act to provide for the "regulation of Municipal Corporations in England and Wales," We, the General Board of Health, appointed for the purposes of the Public Health Act, 1848, have, in pursuance of the provisions of that Act, directed William Ranger, a Superintending Inspector, appointed for the purposes of the said Act, to visit the said Borough, Public Health (No. 2.) Borough, within and throughout the said boundaries, and to make public inquiry, and to examine witnesses as to the sewerage, drainage, and supply of water, the state of the burial grounds, the number and sanitary condition of the inhabitants, and as to any Local Acts of Parliament in force within the said Borough, for paving, lighting, cleansing, watching, regulating, supplying with water, or improving the said Borough, or having relation to the purposes of the said Act; also as to the natural drainage areas, and the existing municipal, parochial, or other local boundaries, and the boundaries which might be most advantageously adopted for the purposes of the said Act. And whereas the said Superintending Inspector, having previously given the notices directed by the said Act, proceeded upon the said inquiry, and hath reported in writing to the said General Board upon the several matters with respect to which he was directed to inquire, and upon certain other matters in respect of which he deemed it expedient to report for the purposes of that Act. And whereas copies of the said Report, accompanied by a notice, stating that written statements might be forwarded to the said Board with respect to any matter contained in or omitted from the said Report, or any amendment proposed to be made therein, have been duly published and deposited as directed by the said Public Health Act, and the time for forwarding such statements has now elapsed, and all such statements as have been received by the said Board have been duly deposited as required by that Act. And whereas it appears upon such Report that there is a certain Local Act of Parliament in force within the said Borough, having relation to the purposes of the said Public Health Act; (that is to say,) An Act passed in the fourth and fifth years of the reign of Queen Victoria, intituled "An Act for paving, "lighting, watching, cleansing, and otherwise improving the "Town of Middlesbrough, and the neighbourhood thereof, in the "North Riding of the County of York and for establishing a "market therein." And whereas it appears to the said General Board of Health to be expedient that the said Public Health Act, except as hereinafter mentioned, should be applied to the said Borough; and that provision should be made with respect to the said Local Act of Parliament, and the partial repeal, alteration, extension, and further execution thereof; but the same cannot be done without the authority of Parliament.
