1935 by which date it is anticipated that the Regional
Scheme will be in operation and the Council's Works no
longer required.
Certain portions of the Park Royal area of the Borough
of Ealing have by agreement with the Ealing Council been
drained into the Wembley sewers.
RIVERS AND STREAMS.
The various rivers and streams in the District were
kept under frequent observation during the year, and I am
pleased to report that there were no complaints received
during the year as a result of any nuisance caused by pollution
of the stream at Kenton from the Hendon R.D. Council's
sewage farm.
It was not necessary to take action in respect of any
stream.
The Chaplin Road Brook was again cleansed by the
County Council, and the refuse therefrom was carted awav
by this Council.
CLOSET ACCOMMODATION.
Practically every house in the District is provided with
water closet accommodation. At the end of the year, seven
houses remained which are provided with earth closets.
There are four cesspools in the District, this provision being
due to the fact that the premises are isolated and are a
considerable distance from any sewer.
PUBLIC CLEANSING.
The removal of house refuse is carried out each week
under the supervision of the Chief Sanitary Inspector, by
means of 6 low loading line S.D. Freighters, and 4 horsedrawn
vans. The work is carried out in an efficient manner,
the number of complaints received is small, and the cost
is satisfactory.
The refuse is deposited in barges and moved from the
District. The Chief Sanitary Inspector regularly inspects
in company with the Sanitary Inspector to the Local
Authority the tip at West Drayton, where the refuse is taken,
to see that the terms of the contract embodying the conditions
laid down in the Local Bye-laws are carried out.
No refuse is collected in this District from earth closets,
privies or cesspools.
