has received general support, and which is likely shortly to receive
parliamentary sanction, will effect a great improvement in the
area covered. In Ealing alone it will mean the scrapping of five
different sewage works and two others just over the boundary with
consequent improvement of the localities concerned.
Closet Accommodation.—Excepting in the undeveloped
portions of the Borough, namely, in the northern portion of the
Mount Park Ward and in the Greenford and Northolt Wards, the
whole of the houses are supplied with water closets, there being
as a rule one water closet for each house or part of a house let as a
separate tenement.
The following Table gives the number of pail closets, the
number of cesspools and the number of water closets connected
therewith, etc., in the areas mentioned at the end of 1930.

Scavenging and Disposal of Refuse.—The whole of the
Borough is scavenged directly by the Council, the house refuse
being transported to the two destructors at South Ealing and
Hanwell. The Hanwell destructor deals adequately with the
work which it is called upon to do. The provision at the South
Ealing Works of six new cells and a new tipping floor, which are
now in full working order, has relieved the congestion there and
has facilitated the ready disposal of the rapidly increasing quantity
of house refuse.
