The cost of removal of refuse from the street markets is at
present £1,000 a year, and no matter who undertakes it, this figure
cannot be reduced, if the scavenging is to be done efficiently,
unless we tap some source of income.
I am proposing that Mr. H. J. Toogood should be appointed
as Market Inspector at a salary of £450 per annum, £150 of
which should be charged to collection, and £300 to his work as a
Sanitary Inspector. Of this £300 we would get £150 from the
London County Council. A District Sanitary Inspector would
require to be appointed to replace Mr. Toogood at a commencing
salary of £300 a year, half of which is returnable by the London
County Council. This would make a total net expenditure to the
Council of £300 a year, as against £212 a year at present, the net
cost of Mr. Toogood's salary. For a total net expenditure then
of £88, the difference between these two figures, we will have
the benefit of an additional Sanitary Inspector and Market
Inspector as well. The suggested plan would therefore mean at
least a saving of £900 a year on the present method of collection,
and the work would be done efficiently.
