All moneys which any sanitary authority may agree to contribute for defraying expenses incurred under this section shall be deemed to be expenses incurred by them in the execution of works within their district.

THE EARL OF RANEURLY

This Amendment was by way of enlarging the powers, so that with the sanction of the central authority another contractor, independent of the central authority, could do the work.

Amendment agreed to; clause ordered to stand part of the Bill.
