AMBULANCE FACILITIES.
Ambulances are provided by the London County Council in accordance with
arrangements, detailed particulars of which will be found in the London County
Council reports, and can be obtained upon application to the London County Council
(City 7200) or to the Public Health Department, Shoreditch Town Hall.
Briefly, the London County Council provides ambulances free of cost for the
conveyance of persons meeting with accidents, parturient women if the case is one
of urgency, persons suffering from illness upon medical certificate, and persons
suffering from infectious disease to the Council's fever hospitals.
In other cases ambulances are supplied at a charge of 10s. if going wholly within
Administrative County of London. Additional charges are made if there is more
than one patient, and there is a special scale of charges for journeys extending outside
London.
HOUSE REFUSE.
The removal of this is under the administrative control of the Borough Surveyor.
It is collected at never longer than weekly intervals; in many instances it is collected
daily, and from a considerable proportion of the premises in the Borough two or
three times a week.
Refuse is removed in horse-drawn vehicles and is either burned at the destructor
at the Electricity Station or is taken away by barge from the wharf in Kingsland Road.
At the time of writing arrangements are well advanced for the introduction of
two motor vehicles to be used in conjunction with the existing carts.
