    upon every occupying tenant of the dwelling-house, who is liable on default to a fine of 20s. a day; a reasonable allowance may be made, at the ultimate cost of the owner, to tenants for their removal expenses [s. 32 (3)]. The- local authority, except in the case of an urban sanitary authority, must forward a copy of such closing order to the county council [s. 45 (1)]. Demolition Order.—If a closing order remains unde- termined, the local authority must, if the circumstances of the case require it, pass a resolution that it is expedient to order the demolition of the building [s. 33 (1) ] ; noticeof such resolution specifying a time and place for the further consideration thereof must be served upon the owner of the dwelling-house, who may attend to state his objections to the demolition [s. 33 (2)]. If upon such further consideration the local authority think the building should come down, they must order the demolition of the dwelling-house, unless the owner undertakes forthwith to execute the necessary works, and does so [s. 33 (3), (4)]. Any person aggrieved may appeal against an order of the local authority to a Court of Quarter Sessions [s. 35]. Demolition by Owner.—Where a demolition order has issued [s. 86 (1)], the owner must within 3 months of service proceed to demolish the building ; and if he makes default a like duty is imposed upon the local authority [s. 34]. Provision is made for the grant of a charge by way of annuity to an owner on completion of the works necessary in respect of any dwelling-house [s. 36, Sched. Y.], and for the incidence of such charge [s. 37].
