The Public Health Act of 1872 (35 & 36 Vict. c. 74) contains the powers under which the Order of the Local Government Board, dated November 11, 1872, was issued. The Public Health Act, 1872. (35 & 36 Vict. c. 79.) Section 10.—It shall be the duty of every urban [rural] sanitary authority to appoint from time to time a medical officer of health, being a legally qualified medical prac- titioner. It shall be the duty of every rural sanitary authority to appoint from time to time a medical officer or officers of health being qualified as aforesaid, an inspector or in- spectors of nuisances, a clerk, and a treasurer, and such other officers and servants as it may deem necessary for the efficient execution of the purposes of the Sanitary Acts; and the appointments of medical officers of health and inspectors of nuisances first made after the passing of this Act shall be for a period not exceeding five years. The Local Government Board shall have the same powers as they have in the case of a district medical officer of a union with regard to the qualification, appointment, duties, salary, and tenure of office of a medical officer of health, or other officer of a sanitary authority, any portion of whose salary is paid out of moneys voted by Parliament. The same person may, with the sanction of the Local Government ]3oard, be appointed the medical officer of health or the inspector of nuisances for two or more sani- tary districts by the joint or several appointment of the sanitary authorities of such districts, and with the like sanction any district medical officer of a union may be ap- pointed a medical officer of health. A medical oflicer of health may exercise any of the powers with which an inspector of nuisances is invested by the sanitary Acts.
