Power to repeal and alter Local Acts.

205. The Local Government Board may, on the application of the sanitary authority of any district, by provisional order, wholly or partially repeal, alter, or amend any local Act other than an Act for the conservancy of rivers which is in force in any area comprising the whole or part of any such district, and not conferring powers or privileges on any persons or person for their or his own pecuniary benefit, which relates to the same subject matters as this Act.

Any such provisional order may provide for the extension of the provisions of the local Act referred to therein beyond the district or districts within the limits of such Act, or for the exclusion of the whole or a portion of any such district from the application of such Act; and may provide what sanitary authority shall have jurisdiction for the purposes of this Act in any area which is by such order included in or excluded from such district.
