REMOVAL OF REFUSE.
About 10,500 tons of House Refuse have been removed during the
year.
255 Complaints have been received during the year of non-removal
of Dustbin Refuse, which received the immediate attention of the
Surveyor.
BAKEHOUSES.
I have personally visited the bakehouses of the district.
According to Section 101, Sub-section 2, of the Factory and Workshops
Act, 1901:—
"After the first day of January, 1904, an underground bakehouse
shall not be used unless certified by the District Council to be
suitable for that purpose."
Personally from a sanitary point of view, I should like to close all
underground bakehouses, but, as so many of these exist in Acton, it
would mean practically taking the living away from many hard-working
and deserving people. Again, many have invested capital in their
business, and it would be obviously very hard on them. I intend,
however, to utilize my power, and exact all I can as regards lighting,
ventilation and cleanliness, and unless they comply with my instructions,
I shall advise the Council not to grant the required certificates.
The following is the Report I have received from Mr. Kinch,
Sanitary Inspector.
