This was considered necessary, as it had been found on
inspection that the stable refuse in the mews, especially in
those where a large number of horses were kept for cab purposes,
was not removed sufficiently frequent, and the stench
from the decomposition caused considerable annoyance to
those residing in their neighbourhood.
The Board of Works for the St. Giles District.
Offices—No. 197, High Holborn, W.C.
Removal of Manure and Refuse.
CAUTION.
The Board desire to draw the attention of persons occupying stables
within the District to the following provisions of the Sanitary Act, 1866,
29 & 30 Vict., cap. 90, sec. 53:—"Where notice has been given by the
Nuisance Authority or their Officer or Officers, for the periodical removal of
manure or other refuse matter from mews, stables (whether such notice shall
be by public announcement in the locality or otherwise) and subsequent to
such notice the person or persons to whom the manure or other refuse matter
belongs shall not so remove the same or shall permit a further accumulation,
and shall not continue such periodical removal at such intervals as the
Nuisance Authority, or their Officer or Officers, shall direct, he or they shall
be liable, without further notice, to a penalty of twenty shillings per day for
every day during which such manure or other refuse matter shall be permitted
to accumulate, such penalty to be recovered in a summary manner."
The Board have, by public announcement and otherwise, given notice
requiring the removal of manure from all premises within the District at
least three times a week. In the event of the non-removal of the manure
proceedings under the above section will be at once taken.
