The existing hours are 4 to 10 a.m. from March to October,
inclusive, and 6 a.m. to 12 noon from November to February, inclusive.
As regards removal by water, the Board agree to the whole
period between sunrise and sunset all the year round.
We think that the extension of hours which the Board are prepared
to approve will be of substantial benefit, although it will
not remove all the difficulties to which our attention has been
called. Indeed, they could only be overcome by allowing removal
during the night, and to this the Board strongly object, as it is then
impossible to see that the refuse is not slopped or spilled, and
that the vehicles conveying it are properly covered.
The existing Bye-law does not apply to the carriage of horse
dung manure. Repeated complaints have been made to the
Council of nuisance occasioned by the removal of peat moss littsr,
and after careful inquiry we think that all manure, with the exception
of that consisting only of horse dung and a sufficient proportion
of straw, should be required to be removed in properlycovered
receptacles. The Local Government Board are prepered
to agree to this.
The proposed alterations in time are shown in the following
