During the year the inspectors made 5,018 visits. The majority of these
were made by Inspectors Hill and Lumley, who give part time to this work.
For neglect of the provisions with regard to the covering of dustbins, etc.,
placed on the footway for collection from the kerb, 31 notices were served.
Remedies in each case were carried out, legal proceedings not being necessary in
any instance.
Removal of Offensive Refuse.—Owing to the number of hotels, boarding
houses, restaurants, and large private establishments in the borough, considerable
quantities of food refuse (hog wash) are collected by pig-feeders daily, and close
watch is necessary in order to ensure that the requirements of the bye-laws
relating to removal of offensive refuse, as to hours of removal, provision of
proper receptacles, etc., are complied with. During the year a number of
warnings with regard to these matters were issued.
