van, fitted on wheels, being used in place of the prescribed
receptacle, or metal cage. Where there is a large accumlation of
manure (e.g., Mewses, Bus-yards, etc.), it is found (as already
explained) that a most efficient way of minimising, if not
preventing, all nuisance in connection with the removal of manure
is to have such manure placed directly from the stables into a
wagon or van, or other receptacle, fitted on wheels. Such a
wheeled receptacle is to be removed without its contents being
disturbed, and another empty one put its place. The addendum
that I suggest is 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 premis's wherein,
or whereon, more than one cubic yard of litter is made, or
accumulates, within any consecutive twenty-four hours."
In conclusion, it is found that, in certain districts, the Bye-laws
have not been strictly enforced, or have been waived or dispensed
with (wholly or in part), or, if enforced have been rendered
ineffectual by subsequent structural alterations or additions to
existing buildings, etc., so that an additional Bye-law appeal's to
be necessary to safeguard such conditions of things happening in
the future. The London School Board may be cited as an
offender in this respect. I suggest the following:—
"None of the foregoing Bye-laws shall be altered, nor any
prescribed provisions and conditions mentioned therein waived
or dispensed with, wholly or in part, or in any way rendered
ineffectual by any Sanitary or other Authority, or other
person or persons, without the previous consent of the London
County Council and of the Local Government Board."
To sum up, I suggest the following alterations and additions, as
explained in the report:—
(a) Bye-laws under Section 16 (2).
1. Suggested alteration to existing Bye-1 aw 1.
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 fœcal or offensive or noxious matter or liquid, deposited
in an impervious air-tight receptacle or receptacles, and
