accordingly continued for another twelve months, which expires on
25th March next.
Your Committee have since given the subject the fullest consideration.
and are of opinion that the best method for disposing
of the house refuse is by means of a Dust Destructor; firstly, on
the ground of public health; secondly on account of the increasing
difficulty of obtaining land suitable for depositing upon;
thirdly, the refusal of other sanitary authorities to allow the refuse
to be deposited upon land within their district, and fourthly,
the increasing cost of the contract system. Seeing, however, that
the realisation of a combined scheme of Dust Destructors and Electric
Lighting may be extended over a considerable period, your
Committee think that the time has now arrived when the Vestry
should express its approval or otherwise to the principle of doing
its own collection and disposal of house refuse, so that an attempt
could be made, after a scheme has been presented to the Vestry,
to commence the work at an early date without the intervention
of a contractor.
Your Committee therefore recommend—
(a) That the Vestry do undertake the work of collection and
disposal of house refuse in the parish.
(b) That the system of disposal of the house refuse by Dust
Destructor be adopted.
(c) If recommendations (a) and (b) be adopted, that the
Sanitary Committee be instructed to submit to the Vestry
a scheme for the collection and disposal of house refuse.
All of which your Committee respectfully submit.

The consideration of this report was adjourned until December
18th, when the Vestry adopted the Committee's recommendations,
(a) and (b) but resolved that (c) should be considered at a later
