The Lambeth Council, in this connection, has suggested to the
London County Council an addition to the Bye-laws, made under
Section 39 of the Public Health (London) Act 1891, relating to
dung receptacles, so as to legalise the use of wheeled receptacles
(wagons) as mentioned above in place of the present receptacles
and cages allowed. The suggested addition (proposed to be made
to the Bye-law) reads as follows :—
"And provided that a person who shall use in place of
such receptacle, or metal cage, a wagon, or van, fitted on
wheels, and removed (together with the contents) periodically
as required, without in any way disturbing such
contents, shall be deemed to have complied with the
requirements of this Bye-law—the provision of such wheeled
receptacle being compulsory in connection with buildings
or premises wherein, or whereon, more than one cubic yard
of litter is made, or accumulates, within any consecutive
twenty-four hours."
With regard to the removal of offensive matters in properly
constructed receptacles, an alteration has also been suggested by
the Lambeth Council of the Bye-laws made under Section 16 of
the Public Health (London) Act 1891 altering the hours, during
which such offensive matters are to be removed, so as to read as
follows:—
"Between 12 (midnight) and 8 a.m. all the year round,
except that this Bye-law shall not apply to any person
removing or carrying, or causing to be removed or carried,
such faecal, or offensive, or noxious, matter, or liquid,
deposited in an impervious air-tight receptacle, or receptacles,
and removed or carried in the same impervious
air-tight receptacle or receptacles, such receptacle or receptacles
being cleansed periodically, as required."
This altered Bye-law shall not apply to any person removing
-or carrying manure in a wagon or van or other receptacle
(fitted on wheels), into which such manure has been placed
direct, and so removed and carried therein as not to be in any
way disturbed thereby or previously.
