Street Cleansing.
In March last Edward Cave, who had been Foreman
of Scavengers for nearly 23 years, died, and on the advice
of your Engineer it was resolved to appoint two Foremen
in his place—one to assist the Inspector of scavenging
and street watering, in superintending the work in the
District north of High Holborn and New Oxford Street,
and the other to perform similar duties south of those
thoroughfares, the street sweepers being divided into four
gangs instead of five as heretofore.
