The scavenging of the District was performed by a staff
of men employed by the Board, numbering 38 men (consisting
of 1 foreman, 5 gangers, and 32 sweepers) and 28 boys,
the total scavenging staff amounting to 66 men and boys.
In addition to the manual labour, two sweeping machines,
drawn by horses,were also used in sweeping the carriage-ways
As an experiment two hand trucks for collecting horse
droppings were obtained in the early part of the year ; they
have been found exceedingly useful, and an additional
number might with advantage be employed.
