CLOSET ACCOMODATION.
Practically the whole of the area is on the water carriage system,
draining into the public sewers. There are a few chemical and earth
closets, chiefly for use on sports grounds within the district, whilst four
cesspools were in use in the district at the end of the year.
PUBLIC CLEANSING.
The collection of house refuse throughout the Borough was maintained
during the year on a weekly basis, the refuse being disposed of at
the Beddington Lane shoot.
The type of receptacle in use throughout the Borough continues to
be the portable galvanised iron covered bin.
The collection of trade refuse was also continued as required.
With the Beddington Lane shoot nearing the end of its useful life,
the question of future" refuse disposal arrangements was under consideration
by the relevant Committee.
Cesspools and earth closets are dealt with by the occupiers of the
premises concerned, which continued arrangement is satisfactory.
