Draft by-laws, to carry out the provisions of this Act in detail, have twice been propounded by the Thames conservancy during 1886, and a third code was drafted early in 1887, but the first two editions provoked so much hostile criticism that the conservancy withdrew them; and, up to the date of going to press, the third edition of proposed by-laws, which still seems too objectionable in many details, has not received the sanction of the Board of Trade, which is necessary before the code can become law.
