Removal of Snow.
Snow fell on several occasions during the months of
February and March of the present year, but not at any time
to any great depth. The work of dealing with these snowfalls
necessitated the employment of a number of additional
men.
The bulk of the snow was removed to the Thames Embankment
and thrown into the River Thames as in previous
years, but a considerable quantity of it was disposed of by
flushing the streets with water from the New River Company's
mains.
Street-orderly Bins, &c.
