(1) I do ^00 how tbe authority can rccjuirc a greater height than8 ft. under By-Law 01. (2) This would be a question of fact for themagistrates to decide (James v. Tr!/i:ill, 51 ], 237). P0BLIC Hkaltii Act, 1875, sec. 150: Intersections ofStreets.— F. H. G. writes: I enclose a sketch of twoprivate streets ordered to be made and completed by the cor-poration. Can you inform me tlie legal way of apportioning. tho costs of making the square piece at the junction of thetwo streets under the 1875 Act (1) when the work of makingtho two streets is carried out together, and (2) when onlyone street is completed and the other one left for, say, a yearor two ? Under 8cc. 150 of the Public Healtli Act, 187S, the owners of promisesfronting, adjoining or abutting on such parts of a street as may requireto bo paved, &c., ore Imljlo for tho expense of making-up tho street according to the frontage of their rceixsctive premises. In myopinion the fronlHgers are not linlilc for tho cost of paving, Ac, This view is strengthened by the fact tliut tho corre-sponding section of tlio Metropolis Management Act, 1802 (sec. 77), cx-liressly makes tho owners of houses and land in the street liable fortho paving, Ac., of intersections; and it is to bo presumed that thoomission of a similar provision from tho 1876 Act was intentional.
