MEDICAL OFFICER'S ANNUAL REPORT SHEET 12 OF DRAFT
has ceased to rely on contractors for the removal of house refuse
and the latter is now collected by the Council's workmen using
the Council's own conveyances and horses. The workmen and vehicles
are under the control of the Council's Engineer & Surveyor and at
present consist of three horsed covered vans, which work a set part
of the district each day of the week. Owing to the rapid growth of
the district the Council's staff and workmen engaged on this work
are fully occupied and it has been necessary to supplement the
house refuse collection by a hired van and horses.
The refuse is still disposed of by tipping in the hollows of
the land attached to the Sewage Works, and I am glad, to note that
the Council have instructed the Engineer & Surveyor to report upon
the matter.
SANITARY INSPECTION OF THE DISTRICT.
Attached to this report is the classified statement of the
number of premises visited, this is a summary of the reports presented
