In the Parish of Wandsworth, the collection and
disposal of house refuse were satisfactorily carried out
under contract by Mr E. King for the sum of £2,4S5.
Most of the house refuse collected was shot into barges
alongside Bell Lane wharf, and the remainder was carted
outside the Board's District. The approximate number of
one-horse loads collected during the year was 8,070. The
requests for the removal of dust numbered 84, as against
100 for the previous year. The dust carts go through
every road and street in the parish once at least each
week during the year.
The scavenging and cleansing of gullies is performed
by the Board's employes and by hired horses, the carts
used being the property of the Board. During the year
15,828 one-horse loads of slop were collected, 992 loads
being carted to private shoots, 4,451 loads to the Burr
Road shoot, 6,312 loads to the Lydden Road shoot, the
remainder (4,073 loads) being used in filling up ditches
and excavations in various parts of the parish.
