*Alternative to inclusive contract for the District.
†Standard cost is calculated upon the mean cost of removal (23.5d. per cubic yard during the quinquennium 19004 and
18.4d. during the quinquennium 19059). This standard cost represents the theoretical total cost per annum for house refuse
removal on the assumption that the mean number of cubic yards per house collected and the price per cubic yard had remained
constant during the respective five yearly periods. The standard cost, in each of the respective quinquennia rises steadily and
proportionately to the number of new houses added each year to the district.
