General Board upon the several matters with respect to which he was directed to inquire, and upon certain other matters in respect of which he deemed it expedient to report for the purposes of that Act. And whereas copies of the said Report, accompanied by a notice stating that written statements might be forwarded to the said Board with respect to any matter contained in or omitted from the said Report, or any amendment proposed to be made therein, have been duly published and deposited as directed by the said Public Health Act; and the time for forwarding such statements has now elapsed, and no such statements have been received by the said Board. And whereas it having appeared to the said General Board that the boundary which might be most advantageously adopted for the purposes of the said Act was not the same as that of the said Township with respect to which the said inquiry had been made, the said Board caused the aforesaid William Ranger to visit the parts within the boundary proposed to be adopted for the purposes of the said Act. And whereas the said Superintending Inspector, after having given such notice as is required by the said Act, did hear all persons desirous of being heard before him on the subject of the said Report, and of the boundary proposed to be adopted for the purposes of the said Act; and did make further inquiry, and report according to the directions of the said Board. And whereas copies of such further Report, accompanied by a notice stating that, within the time directed by the said Act, written statements might be forwarded to the said Board with respect to any matter contained in or omitted from the said Report, or any amendment proposed to be made therein, have been duly published and deposited as required by the said Act; and the time for forwarding such statements has now elapsed, and no such statements have been received by the said Board.

And whereas it appears to the said General Board to be expedient that the said Public Health Act should be applied to a district comprised within the boundary described in the Schedule to this Order annexed, and shown by the line described as "Proposed Boundary," on the map accompanying the said first printed Report to the General Board of Health, bearing date the 26th March 1857, and further described in the Appendix to the aforesaid Report (p. 23), but the same cannot be done without the authority of Parliament.

The fourteen days notice of qualification required by the Public Health Act, 1848, to be given by owners of property in order to entitle them to vote at the said first election shall be given to the said Henry Alcock, at his residence, Airville, Skipton; or in case he shall refuse or be unable to receive the same, then to the said Stephen Bailey Hall, at his offices, Skipton.
