KIOSK CONVENIENCE.
This public convenience and lavatory consists of five w.c.'s, three lavatory
basins, and a six-compartment urinal.
The total receipts during the year amounted to £197 7s. 1d., being
£10 14s. 2d. for use of lavatory, and £186 2s. 11d. for convenience fees.
The payments during the year for attendant's wages, gas and water supply,
&c., cleaning and maintenance, amount to £115 18s. 8d., being an excess of
receipts over payments of £70 4s. 3d. for the year.
PUBLIC URINALS.
One new iron urinal with four compartments has been erected in Great Chart
Street by Messrs. Macfarlane & Co., in place of the worn-out one with two stalls,
which was found to be inadequate to the requirements of the neighbourhood. This
new urinal has been constructed upon improved principles, and fitted inside with
glass enamelled iron plates, which are impervious to moisture and corrosion and
more easily kept clean.
One brick and slate urinal with five compartments has been removed from
Hoxton Street, by Red Lion Court, in consequence of the owner of the ground
requiring the site for building purposes.
The public urinals (33 in number), and 50 tree guards, were all painted
during the summer by men employed by the Vestry for the purpose, the cost for
wages, paint, and tools amounted to £41 5s. 1d.
Twenty-four enamelled iron caution tablets were supplied during the year
and fixed in various positions, with a view of abating the much complained of
nuisances.
