The arrangements for supervising and controlling these cesspools
are as given in last year's Report. When the new area at Cockfosters
is taken over further cesspools will require to be dealt with.

Public Conveniences.—The Council's underground convenience
at The Triangle, Palmers Green, continues its useful services.
The conveniences at Enfield West and Southgate Stations
mentioned in last year's Report are now open and proving extremely
valuable.
The erection of a Public Convenience for Winchmore Hill has
not yet been accomplished, but negotiations are proceeding to
obtain the necessary sanction.
Negotiations are also proceeding to obtain a suitable site for a
convenience which will serve the southern portion of the district,
and also those persons attending the Labour Exchange.
Collection and Disposal of Refuse.—The arrangements in
force are unaltered from those detailed in the Report for 1930, and
amplified in last year's Report.
The Cleansing Committee have under consideration a scheme of
reorganisation at the Refuse Destructor whereby the plant will be
brought thoroughly up to date and made capable of dealing
adequately with the rapidly-increasing bulk of daily refuse. A
scheme of waste paper collection is also being considered.
In addition, extra refuse collection vehicles are to be purchased.
These were urgently required and should make for increased efficiency.
There can be little doubt that this branch of Public Health
work is of enormous importance. It is futile to try to continue
with methods of collection and disposal which are either inadequate
or inefficient, and money spent in this direction will bear fruit,
not only in the improved appearance, but also in the added safeguards
to the health of the district.
