SKIPS.
This skip system for house refuse removal, which commenced in 1892,
has been extended as circumstances demanded, and much benefit has accrued
to the persons for whose relief the method was adopted. The public
dust-bins, which were, from their misuse, a nuisance and constant source of
trouble, have been abolished.
Up to the end of the year 877 of these skips had been supplied in the
poorer neighbourhoods without charge, and 607 were paid for by ratepayers:
total 1,484.
SANITARY CONVENIENCES AT RAILWAY STATIONS.
A careful inspection was made of the above throughout the City during
July, when numerous defects were found to exist.
There are in all twenty-one Stations, and in the case of all except
Bishopsgate, Broad Street and Liverpool Street, serious sanitary defects were
discovered, all of which have since been remedied.
