Removal of Dust.
The dust and ashes were removed from the houses in
the District by contract, the contractor providing all necessary
men, horses, and carts, and performing the whole
work at a cost of £1,757:18s. 4d.
In July last, your Board employed an additional
Inspector, whose sole duty is to make a house to house
inspection of the dust-bins within the District, and see that
the same are properly emptied when requisite. This
inspection has been continued up to the present time with
most satisfactory results. The number of inspections made
from 27th July, 1883 (when the Inspector commenced his
duties), until the 25th March, 1884, was 41,168.
Limewhiting Courts.
The walls of buildings at the entrances to the Mews,
Yards, Courts, Alleys, &c., in the District were twice
cleansed and limewhited during the year, at a cost of
£59:6s. 2d.
Public Urinals.
The public urinals in the District belonging to the Board
are 18 in number and contain 51 compartments; 11 of the
urinals containing 41 compartments, have water laid on to
them, the others are without a water supply. The whole
are cleansed daily by the Board's workmen.
