Van Dwellers.
A great deal of nuisance and trouble was caused by itinerant
gipsies and van dwellers during the year under review,
as many as 149 vans being removed (in many instances forcibly,
with the assistance of the Police).
Removal of Refuse.
The number of loads of refuse removed during the year
was 4,500, which averages loads per cart per day. The
total number of loads represent in weight about 6,300 tons.
Disinfectants.
For the convenience of the inhabitants, disinfectants are
given out daily between the hours of 9 and 10 a.m. During
the year 5 tons of carbolic powder and about 1,200 gallons of
disinfecting fluid have been distributed.
In conclusion, I append summary of work carried out
during the year.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
H. WOOD,
Sanitary Inspector.
