Suggested Provision of Covers for Dust Pails.
The Public Health and Housing Committee, on March 30th, reported
to the Council they had had before them questions raised at the last
Council meeting as to provision of covers for dust pails. They had on two
occasions made representations to the Works Committee urging such
provision on public health grounds, and had also pointed out the requirements
of the London County Council By-Laws in the matter. The
Works Committee, however, considered the provision of covers impracticable,
and in view of the frequent removal of house refuse, unnecessary.
The Committee had again considered the matter, but, being equally
divided, submitted no recommendation on the subject.
