THE DUSTING OF THE PARISH, 1883—84.
I have appended, as usual, a tabulated statement (Table No. VII.) of
the applications for the removal of Dust during the year ending Lady-Day,
1884, showing the number received during each quarter from the eight
different Wards of the Parish.
Of the total number of 13,846 applications received from residents during
the year, 9,829 were by letter or postal card, and 4,017 were made personally,
or by messengers sent to the Vestry Offices.
The 13,846 applications received from inhabitants were at the rate of
35'6 per cent, of the 38,891 assessments in the Parish.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
C. MEYMOTT TIDY, M.B.,
Medical Officer of Health.
30th June, 1884.
