|
103. Any urban authority shall have power, at a meeting specially convened for the purpose, of which not less than thirty days public notice has been given, and at which not less than two-thirds of the members are present, and so that a clear majority of the entire body concurs, and that the Local Government Board approves, to do the following things, or any of them within their district:
|
|
| |
To provide a market-place and construct a market house and other conveniences for the purpose of holding markets:
|
|
| |
To provide houses and places for weighing carts:
|
|
| |
To make convenient approaches to such market:
|
|
| |
To provide all such matters and things as may be necessary for the convenient use of such market:
|
|
| |
To purchase or take on lease or otherwise land or the right to use land, and public or private rights in markets and tolls for any of the foregoing purposes:
|
|
| |
To take stallages, rents, and tolls in respect of the use by any person of such market:
|
|
| |
but no market shall be established in pursuance of this section so as to interfere with any rights, powers, or privileges enjoyed within the district by any person without his consent.
|
|
| |
For the purpose of enabling any urban authority to establish or to regulate markets, there shall be incorporated with this Act the provisions of the Markets and Fairs Clauses Act, 1847, in so far as the same relate to markets; (that is to say,)
|
|
| |
With respect to the holding of the market or fair, and the protection thereof; and
|
|
| |
With respect to the weighing goods and carts; and
|
|
| |
With respect to the stallages, rents, and tolls:
|
|
| |
Provided, that all tolls leviable by an urban authority in pursuance of this section shall be approved by the Local Government Board.
|
|
| |
An urban authority may with respect to any market belonging to them make byelaws for any of the purposes mentioned in section forty-two of the Markets and Fairs Clauses Act, 1847, so far as those purposes relate to markets, and printed copies of any byelaw so made shall be conspicuously exhibited in the market.
