Cartage Scheme.
The work of slopping and watering the roads, general cartage,
and the removal of dust, ashes, and domestic refuse, has been
carried out during the past year under the direction of the Cartage
Committee.
The question of finding shoots for the reception of the dust and ashes
and slops has greatly occupied the attention of the Committee, and
various offers have from time to time been accepted. In Hammersmith
a portion of the dust is sold for 1s. 6d. per load, and the slop is
disposed of by giving ashes for the permission to shoot slop. In
Fulham the Board pays £50 per annum for a shoot at Crabb Tree,
by Rowberry Mead (for slop and dust), and has in addition a free
shoot on Eelbrook for dust alone.

The question of the number of men employed in the cartage work
was referred to tho Committee, and they reported—
"That having carefully considered and gone through the list of
"men employed on the establishment at the Board's two stable
"yards, and having had before them the Superintendent of
"Stables, they find that the staff is efficient, but are of opinion
"that a more extended system of out-door supervision would
"be found beneficial in the working of the scheme. They
"have also gone through the weekly returns of the work done
"by the horses, and are of opinion that it is not expedient to
"make any alteration at present with regard to the journeys
"and districts."
Subsequently upon their recommendation, in order to enable them
to instituto a closer supervion, the Board purchased a nag horse for
the use of the Superintendent of Stables, and the result has been
satisfactory.
