THE DUSTING OF THE PARISH, 1885—86.
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, 1886, showing the number received during each quarter
from the eight different Wards of the Parish.
Of the total number of 11,194 applications received from residents
during the year 7,776 were by letter or postal card, and 3,418 were
made personally, or by messengers sent to the Vestry Offices.
The 11,194 applications received from inhabitants were at the rate
of 27'9 per cent, of the 40,038 assessments in the Parish.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
C. MEYMOTT TIDY, M.B.,
Medical Officer of Health.
30th June, IS86.
