Description: Folio 163. To: George Bailey, Clerk to the Luton Local Board, Luton [Bedfordshire]. From: The General Board of Health. Subject Matter: Draft letter acknowledging receipt of a letter of the 23 May 1853 requesting to be informed as to whether persons may be compelled to build new streets in a straight or uniform line. It is advised that it is not considered that Local Boards have any such compulsory power under section 72 of the Public Health Act 1848, and that the defective provisions of the Act in relation to buildings are now however occupying the serious attention of the Board and they hope to remedy those defects by a general building.
