It has been our constant endeavour to secure the carrying out
of works with as little delay as possible, and to this end many
interviews with owners and others have been secured.
In a few cases where there seemed unreasonable delay, a
warning from the Council that legal proceedings would be taken,
proved sufficient to obtain the carrying out of the works required.
Visits paid re children excluded from Elementary Schools during
the year numbered 383. and the total inspections and visits for all
purposes made by the Staff of the Sanitary Department was 23,070.
Removal of House Refuse.
A weekly collection of house refuse throughout the District finds
employment for:—
4 2½-ton Edison electric vehicles.
1 "S.D." Freighter (petrol) dust wagon.
3 horsed vehicles; and
27 Dustmen.
The electric vehicles, kept at the charging station at the North
Metropolitan Electric Power Supply Company's premises, Ladysmith
Road, are charged by the Company. I am glad to have the opportunity
of again expressing our appreciation of the expert advice
