In 1936 an agreement was entered into with Messrs. Heath & Sons
whereby the Council might dispose of the refuse of the District in
Heath's pit, Carterhatch Lane at a fee of 1s. 0d. per load of refuse
or covering material brought therein.
During 1937 this arrangement remained in force and all the refuse
of Enfield was disposed of accordingly at this Pit.
In the earlier part of the year some difficulty was experienced
owing to the continuous presence of water in the lower levels of the
Pit, arising in all probability from local springs.
As the lower parts of the field were raised in height this nuisance
disappeared and towards the end of the year no refuse was being
tipped into water.
The Heenen & Froud Separator and Destructor which the Council
determined to erect in 1936 was under construction at the end of
1937. It is anticipated that it will commence to operate as from
the middle of 1938.
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.
