4.—Once in each and every week, and oftener if required, the Contractor's
men shall call, knock, or ring at each and every house, tenement or premises, in
every street or other place in the said Division, and shall carry away all dust,
ashes, or house refuse, which shall from time to time be collected, lodged, and
found on any premises, or which shall be brought to the doors thereof, and
the Contractor shall attend to and be bound by any notices, rules, regulations,
orders, directions, or instructions that may from time to time be issued by the
Chief Commissioner of the Police, or any other public officer, in pursuance of
any power vested in such officer.
A list of the streets and other places in each of the districts into which the
Division is divided will be furnished, and the streets and other places therein
referred to shall be numbered or arranged in such list in the order in which
the dust, ashes, or house refuse shall be removed therefrom ; such order to be
consecutive according to contiguity, and shall be strictly adhered to by the
Contractor, his agents or servants. On every Monday morning in each week,
during the continuance of the contract, a dust cart, with men provided, shall
commence at the street or other place numbered one or placed first on the said
list, and the Contractor, his agents or servants, shall call at and collect from
every house, from house to house in the street or other place, the house refuse
accumulated during the week, since the call of the previous cart. When such
street or place has been completed, the cart shall then proceed to the street or
place next on the list, and so on day by day until the whole of the streets and
other places in the district shall have been traversed and completed by the said
cart, and in such a manner that the carts shall follow one another through the
district, from house to house, and street to street at intervals of one week.
The Contractor shall likewise give immediate attention to any instructions he
may receive from the Medical Officer of Health in special cases.

shall, immediately on the commencement of the Contract, furnish to the
Medical Officer of Health a list (in writing) of the carts or vans to be
employed, with the names of the men appointed thereto set against the said
carts and vans respectively, and shall on every Monday morning in each
week, during the continuance of this Contract, in like manner furnish the
number of each of the carts and the names of each of the men in attendance,
commencing each District in the Division, and any change in the Carts or of
the men attending the carts shall be duly notified to the Medical Officer of
Health; and within twenty-four hours after the discharge of any man so
employed, and of every new man employed, and of any and every alteration
which may from time to time be made, or may occur in such appointments,
he shall from time to time give like notice in writing to the Medical Officer
of Health.
9.—The Contractor shall not remove or cause to be removed from either of
the Districts of the Division any dust cart or van during the day, except to
discharge its contents or in case of accident; and no change or alteration
shall take place without the consent of the Medical Officer of Health having
been first obtained, in which case such necessary change or alteration shall
take place with the commencement of the day.
