Since November there has been no serious complaint with
regard to the refuse destructor.
The Kent County Council have entered into an agreement
with the Bromley Corporation whereby by payment of a
small sum annually the carcases of stray dogs are allowed to
be cremated in the destructor, but it was decided not to give
permission for the use of the destructor to cremate the carcases
of larger animals which have died of infectious diseases,
such as anthrax, etc.
The question whether the collection of trade refuse should
be made without charge is still under consideration.
We still receive occasional complaint of the smoke from
the shaft of the Electric Light Works.
The underground Bakehouse at 6, Cherry Orchard Road,
after considerable alteration was inspected and approved.
There were very few complaints of sewer smells during the
year.
There is a great need for public conveniences in various
parts of the town, and for a public swimming bath.
It would be a boon to invalids and aged and infirm persons
if garden seats were to be placed in a few of the most
suitable places in the district.
FACTORY AND WORKSHOP ACT, 1901.
