The following is copy of a letter appearing in the Irish Law Times of December 27th, 1941 : Corporation of Dublin, Streets Section, 29 Castle Street, Dublin. 19th December, 1941. 7 ne Editor, Irish Law Times. ; Dear Sir, I would ask vou to draw the attention of all practising Solicitors to a matter, which is of great importance to purchasers of-houses and to the Municipality. The Corporation will not take a road into charge and light and maintain it unless such road has been constructed in accordance with the reqiiirements of the Corporation. It is, therefore, advisable that every Solicitor who is acting for a prospective purchaser of a house should, before completing the purchase, enquire from the Corporation whether or not the road on which the house is situated has been constructed to the satisfaction of the Corporation and is in charge, and if there are any charges or notices of the Corporation outstanding against the premises. Where neglect to make these enquiries occurs, the purchaser may find himself in possession or in occupation, of a house on an unfinished and unlighted road (a state of affairs for which the Corporation is not responsible], with the added disadvantage that the Corporation may, at any time, feel bound to exercise its powers under Section 28 of the Public Health (Ireland) Act, 1878, and reconstruct the road and provide a lighting installation at the expense of the then owners of the houses fronting on the road. Yours faithfully, (Signed] P. J. Hernon, City Manager and Town Clerk.
