Some difficulty has been experienced here in view of the fact
that there was a large rainfall during the year, causing the water
level to rise in the pit. Although pumping operations were carried
out, it was, nevertheless, necessary to tip some refuse into water.
So far no harmful effects have eventuated and the refuse of Enfield
has been disposed of satisfactorily.
During the year the Council resolved not to instal a WoodhallDuckham
Inclined Rotary Refuse Destructor (Volund Patents) and
sell steam to the North Metropolitan Electric Power Supply Company,
as had been its previous determination.
Instead, the Council resolved to erect a Heenen & Froud
Separator and Destructor, and to sell materials obtained by
separation.
At the end of the year the Council were still awaiting a decision
of the Minister of Health on a request for sanction to borrow the
money requisite for the erection of this plant.
SANITARY INSPECTION OF DISTRICT.
A full report on this matter is contained in the Report of the
Chief Sanitary Inspector, which will be found at the end of this
Report.
SMOKE ABATEMENT.
During the course of the year observation has been kept on
the chimneys of the District for nuisances due to the issue of excess
amount of smoke.
Many warning letters have been sent, and in all cases these
have resulted in the abatement of the nuisance.
