SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE BOROUGH.
Scavenging.
The removal of house and trade refuse is carried out by contract. In the
main thoroughfares, and in a number of other principal streets, there is a daily
collection. In the remainder of the streets the collection is twice weekly.
The collection of house refuse from the main streets is completed by
9 a.m., the householders being required to put the bins on the kerb of the footway
in front of their premises between the hours of 6 and 8 a.m. This earlier daily
collection works well on the whole.
In a very large majority of the houses in the Borough, the old large fixed
ashpits have been replaced by movable sanitary ashbins.
The number of notices served for the absence of, or defective, ashbins was 134.
During the year the contractors brought into use three modern dust collecting
vehicles of the low loading type, and improved the vehicles of the high loading
type by providing sectional covers.

his duties on the 2nd June, 1930. He is required to report to the Medical Officer
