Excerpt from By-Laws of the City of Toronto: Of General Application, and Also Shewing Those Passed Since 13th January, 1890, to 22nd February, 1904, Inclusive, as Reported by the Special Committee Appointed by the Municipal Council July, 1902, Together With the Names the Members of the Municipal Cou The By-laws of the City of Toronto of a general application were last consolidated in the year 1890. Previous consolidations had taken place in the years 1870 and 1876. In the year 1900 it was considered necessary to have the By-laws again consolidated, the same having been directed by a resolution of the Council passed on the 22nd of January, 1900, and recommended in Report No. 5 of the Committee on Legislation and Reception. A vast amount of work had to be done in view of the great number of amendments made during the preceding ten years in the By-laws included in the former consolidation, and the work of compiling, revising and correcting took considerable time, and especially as the Heads of the various civic departments had to be consulted and their views considered in such revision. During the year 1903 it was determined that the work should be completed, and a Special Committee of the Legislation and Reception Committee, consisting of Aldermen Ward, Spence and Starr, specially considered the By-law relating to the procedure in Council, and such changes in the other By-laws as the City Solicitor brought before them. Their work was completed as set out in Report No. 14 of the Legislation and Reception Committee, 1903 and reported to the Council on the 28th of December, 1903.
