$PROCEDURE FOR HAVING THE ACT (or a part of it) APPLIED IN A DISTRICT. Application A. Once at least in each of two successive weeks of Act. AND TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE APPLICATION, the local ■ authority shall advertise in one or more newspapers circulating in their district their intention to apply to the Local Government Board or the Chief Secre- tary to have parts or sections of the Act applied in their district. B. The local authority must apply to the Local Government Board (in the case of Parts II., III., IV., v., VI., and X.), or to the Chief Secretary (s. 3 (4) ) (in the case of Parts VII., VIII. and IX.) to have those parts or any sections of them applied in their district, or (in case of a rural dis- trict) in any contributory place within the district s. 3 (1) ). C. Satisfactory proof of such advertisement must be given to the Local Government Board or Chief Secretary, as the case may be (s. 3 (2) ). D. The Local Government Board may, if they think fit, direct enquiries by their Inspectors, and the Chief Secretary, if he thinks fit, may direct a local enquiry. {They have a similar power to direct an engniry in regard to any other powers conferred on them by the Act. In both cases the local authority must foot the Bill. £3 3s. Od. a day is, however, the maximum that can be exacted by the Local Government Board inspector, but no limit is placed on the generosity of the Chief Sec- retary to his representative at the local authority's expense (s.5)]. E One month after the date of the advertisement mentioned above, and after satisfactory proof of it has been given, the Local Government Board or the Chief Secretj^ry (as the case may be) may make AN ORDER declaring any part or any section of the Act to be in force in the district of a local autho- rity who have complied with the above formalities,$
