Chiswick was a local government district in the county of Middlesex, England from 1858 to 1927. It was part of the London postal district and the Metropolitan Police District. The Chiswick Improvement Act 1858〔21 & 22 Vict. c. 69〕 created a board of 19 commissioners, one of whom was nominated by the Duke of Devonshire, the major landowner of the parish. The commissioners had power to levy rates for such matters as lighting, paving and sewerage. In 1883 the commissioners were replaced by a local board (which was also an urban sanitary authority) created under the Public Health Act 1875. the Duke of Devonshire retained the right to nominate a member of the board so long as he continued to hold in the parish.〔(''Chiswick: Local Government'' in ''Victoria County History of Middlesex'', Vol.7, (British History Online), accessed January 28, 2008 )〕 The Local Government Act 1894 reconstituted the local board's area as an urban district, and the eighteen-member Chiswick Urban District Council replaced the local board. The urban district was initially divided into two wards each electing nine councillors named Chiswick and Turnham Green.〔(''Chiswick Urban District Council'', ''Kelly's Directory of Middlesex, 1899'', p.51, (Historical Directories) accessed January 28, 2008 )〕 In 1901 these were replaced with six wards, returning three councillors each: Bedford Park, Chiswick Park, Grove Park, Gunnersbury, Old Chiswick, and Turnham Green.〔 In 1927 Chiswick UD was amalgamated with the neighbouring Brentford Urban District to form Brentford and Chiswick Urban District.〔Frederic A Youngs Jr., ''Guide to the Local Administrative Units of England'', Vol. 2: Southern England, London, 1979〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chiswick Urban District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
