This is a letter written by
the Chairman of the Sanitary Committee of Ormskirk to the General Board
of Health in 1848. Towns could ask the General Board to set up a Local
Board, but at least ten percent of the ratepayers had to sign a petition.
The General Board would then send an inspector to town to inspect the
sanitary state of the town.
