    (6) may provide for widening any existing approaches to the unhealthy area or otherwise for opening out the same for the purposes of ventilation or health; and (c) shall provide such dwelling accommodation, if any, for the working classes displaced by the scheme as is required* to comply with this Act; and (cZ) shall provide for proper sanitary arrangements.' (2.) The scheme shall distinguish the lands proposed** to be taken compulsorily. (3.) The scheme may also provide for the scheme or any pai-t thereof being carried out and effected by the person entitled^ to the first estate of freehold in any property comprised in the scheme or with the concurrence of such person, imder the superintendence and control of the local authority, and upon such terms and conditions to be embodied in the scheme as may be agreed upon between the local authority and such person. Improve- ment scheme by provi- sional order to be confirmed by Parlia- ment. 38 & 39 Vict. c. 86. s. 6. Publica- tion of notices. Service of notices. Confirmation of Scheme. Section 7.—Upon the completion of an improvement scheme the local authority shall— (a) pubHsh, during three consecutive weeks in the month of September, or October, or November, in some one and the same newspaper circulating within the district of the local authority, an advertisement'' stating the fact of a scheme having been made, the limits of the area comjDrised therein, and naming a place within such area or in the vicinity thereof where a cojjy of the scheme may be seen at all reasonable hours; and (V) during the month next following the month in which such advertisement is published serve a notice on every owner or reputed owner,^ lessee or reputed lessee, and occupier of any lands i^roposed to be taken compulsorily, soj far as such person * See Section ]1 below, and the notes to that section. ^ As to the notices to be served on the owners, lessees and occupiers of these lands, see below, Section 7. This power is likely to be useful in cases where the freeholder is desirous of co-operating with the local authority, but is debarred from doing so by inability to purchase the leasehold interests compulsorily. On reference to Section 27 it will be seen that the confirming authority may by order prescribe the forms of advertisements and notices under this Part of the Act; and that although it will not be obligatory on any persons to adopt sucli forms, the same, when adopted, are to be deemed suificient for all the. pur^Doses of this Part of the Act. For this' reason, it will probably be prudent to adopt them. The order of the Local Government Board of the 2ud October, 1890, pre- scribing them will be found in Appendix C, pages 209 to 212. The notices must be signod'by the clerk to the local authority or his lawful deputy. See Section 86. ' There is no definition of owner in this Part of the Act. The definition in Section 29 applies only to Part II. of the Act.
