§ Any expenses incurred in connection with the taking of a census under this Act in pursuance of an application made by a local authority, including the publication of any reports or returns relating to the census, shall be paid by the local authority by which the application for the census was made, and any expenses so incurred, and any other expenses incurred by a local authority under this Act, shall be defrayed in the case of 113 the common council of the City of London and a metropolitan borough out of the general rate, in the case of a county council as expenses for general county purposes, and in the case of other councils as expenses incurred in the administration of the Public Health Acts, 1875 to 1908.—[Dr. Addison.]
§ Brought up, and read the First time.
§ Dr. ADDISONI beg to move, "That the Clause be read a Second time."
This Clause is proposed in order to meet the point that the Bill does not appear to empower local authorities to pay for the cost of local censuses, and that is the only object of this Amendment.
§ Clause read a Second time, and added to the Bill.
