3. Every person who shall remove any snow from any premises on
to any carriageway shall deposit the same in such a manner and with
such precautions as to prevent any accumulation thereof in any channel
or upon any paved crossing.
If in the process of such removal any snow be deposited upon any
footway or pavement in any street, he shall forthwith remove such snow
from such footway or pavement.
4. Every person who shall throw any salt upon any snow on the
footway of any street shall do so in such quantity and in such manner as
effectually to dissolve the whole of such snow, and he shall forthwith
effectually remove from the footway the whole of the deposit resulting
from the mixture of the salt with the snow. He shall not place any part
of such deposit on the carriageway of such street elsewhere than in
proximity to any channel at the side of such carriageway, and he shall
not remove any part of the same into any such channel unless it is
sufficiently liquid to flow along such channel.
No person shall throw any salt upon any snow on the carriageway
of any street unless it shall be practicable forthwith effectually to remove
the whole of the deposit resulting from the mixture of the salt with the
snow. Every person who shall throw any salt upon any snow on any
such carriageway shall forthwith effectually remove the whole of the
deposit, but he shall not place any part thereof on the footway of such
street or on any paved crossing, or on the carriageway in such a manner
as to interfere with the carriage traffic, nor shall he place any part thereof
in the channel at the side of the carriageway, unless it is sufficiently
liquid to flow along such channel.
5. A person shall not throw, cast, or lay, or cause to be thrown, cast,
or laid, any dust, ashes, rubbish, offal, carrion, fish, or filth or other
like matter or thing in or upon any part of a street.
Provided always that this bye-law shall not apply to any act which is
for the time being an offence within the meaning of any public general
statute, or of any bye-law made by the London County Council and in
force in the place where such act is done.
