Description

Folio 191. Draft letter from the Local Government Board to Charles Wright, Clerk to the Mitford and Launditch Rural Sanitary Authority, acknowledging receipt of his letter of 27 February 1875 requesting the Board to invest the Rural Sanitary Authority with the powers of a an urban sanitary authority in respect of the parish of East Dereham.
The Board are not prepared to invest the Rural Sanitary Authority with any urban powers, which the circumstances of the district at the present time do not render it essential that they should possess. The Board before further considering the application of the Rural Sanitary Authority wish to be furnished with a statement showing precisely the sections of the statutes the powers of which they desire to be conferred upon them and the reasons, which in their opinion render such powers necessary.
The Board may add that in other cases the powers conferred on Rural Sanitary Authorities have usually been those under sections 32 & 34 of the LG Act [Local Government Act] 1858 and section 44 of the Sanitary Law Amendment Act 1874', 3 March 1875.
