CHAPTER clix.
An Act to consolidate with amendments certain of the A.D. 1909.
Local Acts in force within the county borough of Bury
to make further provision in regard to the various
undertakings of the Corporation and to make better
provision for the health and local government of the
borough and for other purposes. [20th October 1909.]
W
HEREAS the county borough of Bury (herein-after called
" the borough ") is a municipal borough under and
subject to the Municipal Corporation Act 1882 and is also
a county borough under the Local Government Act 1888 and
the mayor aldermen and burgesses of the borough acting by
the council (herein-after called " the Corporation ") are the
sanitary authority for the district and the borough under the
Public Health Act 1875 and are also the local authority for
the same district within the meaning of the Tramways Act
1870 and the Electric Lighting Acts 1882 and 1888:
And whereas there are in force in the borough numerous
Local Acts and Orders which relate to the improvement and
local government of the borough including the supply of gas
and electricity the construction and working of tramways and
other matters :
And whereas many of the provisions of those Acts and
Orders have been superseded by subsequent legislation and
ought to be repealed and it would be of local and public
advantage if such of the provisions of the said Acts and Orders
as it is deemed expedient to retain were consolidated with
certain amendments and additions in one Act;
