b'The problem of what to do with lost property is dealt with by section 41 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 (the 1982 Act). This section has effect where property comes into the possession of the local authority after being found on buildings or premises owned or managed by it or property that has been deposited with the authority which is not collected from it in accordance with the terms under which it was deposited. The section sets out the steps which the authority should take to trace the owner/depositor of the goods, but in the event of the owner/depositor not being traced within the period set out under the 1982 Act the authority has power to sell or otherwise dispose of the property at such time and in such manner as it thinks fit. Where property is claimed by its owner or depositor before it vests in a local authority he may collect it on payment to the authority of any sum which it requires him to pay in respect of the costs incurred by the authority in making enquiries for the purposes of the Act, serving any notices under the Act or in looking after the property adequately. The section does not apply to any property which is found on an aerodrome or in an aircraft on an aerodrome, in a public service vehicle or on any premises belonging to or under the control of. Transport for London or any of its subsidiaries. It is worth noting that under section 22 of the Local Government Act 1988 a public authority which maintains an approved list must not require a person to pay any sum as a condition of his inclusion or continued inclusion in the list or of his being considered for such inclusiona hangover from CCT days but still relevant for procurement purposes. Under section 96 of the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980, if any member of the public requires a council to supply him with a copy of any information contained in such a copy of the register, the council shall supply him with a copy of that information on payment of such reasonable charge for making it as the council may determine. The register mentioned in this section is a register of land holdings of the local authority maintained and compiled by the Secretary of State under section 95 of this Act. The Civic Restaurants Act 1947 is a very simple statute which enables district councils and London boroughs to establish and carry on restaurants and otherwise provide for the supply to the public of meals and refreshments. It also enables them to carry on such activities as are reasonably incidental or ancillary to those activities. If intoxicating liquor is to be sold in such an establishment the authority must, as the section states, obtain a justices licence. The Act places an obligation on the authority to keep an account of its income and expenditure and puts it under an obligation to use its best endeavours to ensure that its income under the Act is sufficient to defray its expenditure. The Local Government and Housing Act 1989 (the 1989 Act), section 150 empowers the Secretary of State to make regulations authorising principal councils (as defined under section 152) to make charges for services rendered, documents issued or other things done, for which there is no existing power to charge. The regulations may provide for the amount of the charges to be at the authoritys discretion, or at its discretion subject to a maximum. The Statutory instruments made under section 150 to date are: Local Authorities (Recovery of Costs for Public Path Orders) Regulations 1993 (SI 1993/407); Local Authorities (Charges for Land Searches) Regulations 1994 (SI 1994/1885); 105'
