* 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 1900-4 and
18.7d. during the six years 1905-10). This standard cost represents the theoretical total cost per annum for house refus9
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 periods. The standard cost in each of the respective periods rises steadily and proportionately
to the number of new houses added each year to the district.
