REMOVAL OF DUST.
Only 2(5 applications were received during the year for the removal of
dust. This is the lowest number hitherto recorded, but it is only 6 less than
in 1913.
The return is exceedingly satisfactory, as it shows that there is very little
cause of complaint by the general public in Islington.
The particulars for each year since 1891 are as follows:—
| Applications to Remove Dust. | Applications to Remove Dust. | ||

| 1891 | 10,138 | I903 | 152 |
