MR. WILLIAM HENRY BROOKE, Solicitor, Wolverhampton Street,
has been appointed Clerk to the Board, and all general
communications should be addressed to him.
MR. JOHN BATEMAN, Wolverhampton Street, has been appointed
Surveyor,--and
MR. JOHN CASTREE, Railway Parcels Office, Wolverhampton Street,
Inspector of Nuisances.
All communications respecting these two departments of the
Board should be addressed to these Officers respectively.
THE BOARD take this opportunity of announcing that in
enforcing the large and searching powers and directions of the
PUBLIC HEALTH ACT, they shall be always desirous of avoiding,
as much as possible, any compulsory interference with the
management of property, and any unnecessary intrusion on the
privacy of the parishioners. But that extensive inspection
and inquiry will be unavoidable, since the state of drainage
of every house must be ascertained, in order to be rendered
perfect. Interference, however, and compulsion will, in
every case, be less in proportion as the parishioners shall
themselves kindly co-operate in bringing about that better
state of sanitary arrangement which the Act requires, and which
is so essential to the public health and welfare.
By Order of
The Local Board of Health, Dudley;
W. H. BROOKE,
_Clerk to the said Board._
_Dudley, August 2nd, 1853._
The following appeal to the Churchmen in this town was attended with
