Closet Accommodation.
All the houses in the urban portions of the district are
supplied with w.c.s of various tvpes, the majority being those of
the "wash-down" pattern. In the rural parts of the district the
accommodation consists of water-closets connected with cesspools,
earth-closets, and privies with movable receptacles. I am
not aware of any middens in the district.
SCAVENGING.
Removal of House Refuse.
This work is carried out by the Council's own staff, a weekly
collection being made throughout the greater part of the district.
Part of the stuff collected is disposed of to brickmakers, and the
remainder taken to the Council's depot at Caterhatch l.ane, where
' it is levelled and covered with earth.
Every week one man in the employ of the Council attends to
some few earth-closets in a rural part of the district.
CESSPOOLS.
The Council has provided suitable vans and pumps, and undertakes
the emptying of cesspools on the application of householders.
