properly constructed carts are most wasteful when employed in
dusting. There are, also, many considerations, financial, economic,
aesthetic, and hygienic, which naturally arise in association with this

On 7th June, 1899, a supplementary memorandum was presented
by the Medical Officer of Health as follows:—
With regard to the Dust Collection, I have been requested by
the Highways and Parks Committee to endeavour to order as nearly
as possible the same number of vehicles on each day. In order to

instead of Tuesdays and Fridays as at present, that is to say:—
Victoria Road, Forest Gate, Palmerston Road, St. John's Terrace,
Westbury Road, Gipsy Lane (from Westbury Road to Romford Road),
and all Romford Road. In the Southern Division the following
streets Victoria Dock Road (from Nelson Street to Hallsville Road),
Nelson Street, Hoy Street, Smith Street, Poplar Street, George
Street, Shirley Street, John Street, Ford Street, Edward Street,
Emily Street, St. Luke's Square Greenville Street, Ford's Market,
Boyd Road, Lansdown Road, Portland Road, Agate Street, Albany
Street, Western Street, Sandford Street, Addison Road, Eldon Street,
St. Luke's School, and part of South Hallsville School."
In the Northern District we shall have to make ten beats instead
of nine under an extra Filler. In the Southern District it will be
possible to divide one of the beats between two existing beats. This
