HC Deb 20 November 1902 vol 115 c26
MR. CAREW

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the attention of the Local Government Board has been directed to complaints as to the road from Hill of Down to Ballivor, county Meath, being obstructed by overhanging trees for a distance of two miles; and whether any explanation has been received from the county surveyor of Meath as to his failure to enforce Section 9 of the Act 14 and 15 Vic., c. 92, in this instance.

MR. WYNDHAM

The duty inposed on the county surveyor by the section of the statute referred to has, by the 72nd Section of the Local Government Act, 1898, been vested in the County council. It is now the duty of the latter body to take the action prescribed by the first-mentioned statute.
