During 1922, collection of house refuse has continued weekly
as before, but was disposed of by means of a dump in the Staines
Road instead of being dealt with in the destructor.
During the year there were supplied 201 new ashbins.

Nuisances, Contraventions of Bye-laws, Defective Drainage, etc.
The number of premises on which nuisances were outstanding
at the end of 1921 was 696. To these, other 722 premises
whereat nuisances were recorded in 1922 were added giving a
total of 1,418 premises. Of these 829 had the nuisances remedied,
leaviug 589 premises at which nuisances still existed at the end
of the year.
During the year, nuisances at 59 houses were reported to the
Health Committee, which added to the 19 brought forward from
1921, make a total of 78. Before asking authority to serve
statutory notices, the premises are inspected by the Medical Officer
of Health and Sanitary Inspector. Statutory notices were
authorised and served in most of these cases, and by the end of
the year, the nuisances were remedied in5L of the houses, leaving
27 cases to be carried forward in 1923.

It is my duty once more to point out that the staff of
Sanitary Inspectors is inadequate.
