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
(Wat. 3311) or to the Public Health Department, Town Hall, Old Street, E.C.I
(Bis. 3311/3319).
Briefly the London County Council provides ambulances free of cost for the
conveyance of persons meeting with accidents, for parturient women if the cases
are urgent, for persons suffering from illness (upon production of medical certificate),
and for persons suffering from infectious diseases who are to be removed to the
Council's fever hospitals.
In other cases ambulances are supplied at a charge of 12s. 6d. if they are not to be
used outside the 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 intervals which are never longer than one week ; in many instances
it is collected daily, and from a considerable proportion of the premises in the Borough
two or three times per week.
Refuse is removed in horse-drawn and mechanically operated vehicles, and is
burned at the refuse destructor.
