ERY HISTORY:

database file source="h:/!Genuki/RecordTranscriptions/YKS/ERYHistory.txt" COUNTY COUNCIL.

This body was constituted in accordance with the provisions of the Local Government Act of 1888, which decreed that in every administrative county, as defined by the Act, an elective body called a County Council shall be established, which shall be entrusted with the management of the administrative and financial business of the county, hitherto transacted by the magistrates at the Quarter Sessions. Under this Act, the Ridings of Yorkshire form separate administrative counties. The East Riding is divided into forty-seven divisions, each of which elects one councillor, and the borough of Beverley four. The municipal boroughs of York and Hull are, by this Act, constituted separate administrative counties under the title of County Boroughs. Each council consists of a chairman, aldermen (one-half of whom shall retire in rotation every third year), and councillors. The Act came into operation on the first of April, 1889. The meetings are held at Beverley.

Principal Officers:

Chairman - Sir Charles Legard, Bart.
Vice-Chairman - Robert Stanley Scholfield. Esq.
