The Council has made arrangements with the contractor for the gradual
substitution of motor vehicles in place of horse-drawn wagons for the removal of
house and trade refuse.
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ashpits have been replaced by movable sanitary ashbins.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, ashbin was 58
and for breach of By-laws as to the removal of refuse, 2.
The increasing congestion of traffic in the main thoroughfares has rendered
difficult the daily removal of refuse from these streets. With a view to completing
the collection before the busy hours of the day the Council made arrangements
with the contractor for the daily collection of house refuse from the main
thoroughfares shortly after 8 a.m., instead of shortly before 10 a.m. To enable
this to be done an Order was issued requiring occupiers of premises in the
thoroughfares concerned to place the refuse on the curb in small properly covered
metal receptacles between the hours of 6 and 8 a.m.
Removal of Manure.
The removal of manure from the various mews in the Borough was
satisfactorily carried out during the year. Again no complaint was received.
In six cases notices were served in connection with the structure of manure
receptacles for breach of By-laws made by the London County Council.
