the year by horses, carts, and men employed by the Board by the
day, at contract prices, and a few complaints have only been
made for non-removal, the expenditure being £879 2s. 0d., but
as the number of houses is greatly increasing, and in order to
carry out the requirements of the Sanitary Act, it will form a
serious item of expense.
