[14 & 15 Vict. CAP. XCV.]
Description: London, printed by George Edward Eyre and William Spottiswoode, Printers to the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty. 1851 [2], 759-776pp 32x21, disbound extract Edges browned and slightly chipped, very good thus for fragile item. Commonly known as the Crown Estate Paving Act, this legislation somewhat rationalised the complex series of private commissioners empowered to raise levies to pay for improvements to streets. The Crown Estate Paving Commission had been established in 1824, and was responsible for improvements on Crown Estate lands from Whitehall to Regents Park, primarily along Regent's Street. This Act removed Regents Street from its remit, but added the Park itself. The CEPC was not included in the municipal reforms of the late 19th century, and still exists and can - and does - levy charges on the 1200 or so buidings that come under its scope.
