nection with the work, and they are proposing to enter into an
agreement with the Committee of St. John's Hospital, Lewisham, for
this purpose.
Public Cleansing.
(a) The Council have given careful consideration to the suggestion
that a public cleansing officer should be appointed with a view
to securing greater efficiency in the cleansing service, but after full
deliberation of all the circumstances obtaining in this Borough, have
arrived at the conclusion that the appointment of such as officer
is unnecessary.
(b) With regard to the suggested bi-weekly collection of house
refuse, whenever attention is called to the need for such bi-weekly
collection, if the Council are satisfied for such need, instructions are
given to the Borough Surveyor to arrange accordingly.
(c) The Council's Works and Highways Committee, having considered
the Minister's observations, with regard to the Council's
shoot for road sweepings at Southend Lane, took the opportunity of
visiting this shoot. At the time of their visit, they considered that,
although it was unsightly, there were no grounds or cause for complaint
upon sanitary grounds. They have, however, instructed the
Borough Surveyor to keep the shoot under observation with a view
to taking such steps as may render complaints under any grounds
unnecessary for the future.
