Collection of House Refuse.
This important service continues to be carried out regularly
and efficiently, as for the second year in succession
not a single complaint of neglect or inattention has been
received. On the contrary, 389 visits have been made to
houses where the dustmen have reported failure to obtain
the refuse at the appointed times; and in 20 cases where
the Occupiers have refused the dustmen's request to permit
the removals, notices have been served, but no further proceedings
were necessary.
50 new sanitary dust-pails have been provided in the
place of old brick dust-bins. These much facilitate the
work of the dustmen, and reduce to a minimum the nuisance
caused by the storage and removal of house refuse. Two
ancient public dust-bins have been demolished during the
year.
