of the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, in so far as
buildings of the warehouse type are concerned, was to
secure the following improvement, viz.: the depositing in
suitable receptacles by occupiers of refuse for weekly
collection purposes in such conveniently accessible positions
as the Borough Council might prescribe.*
The difficulties, inconveniences and delays frequently experienced
in securing the removal of house refuse are
well known, particularly in the case of let-out premises of

being provided. Further, need exists for proper suitable
receptacles being provided owing to the varied interpretations
placed upon the words "moveable receptacle"
mentioned in by-law 6 made under Section 16 (2) of the
Public Health (London) Act, 1891.
