the contractors works out at a little over 5s. 2½d. per load of two
cubic yards. To the above sums must be added £1,974 8d. 4d , paid
during the year to the Vestry's own dust.men, bringing the whole
cost for the removal of house refuse for the year to the sum of
£13,630 7s. 7d. This appears an alarming sum for such a purpose,
but when the cost for each inhabited house in the parish per year is
calculated, the sum puts on a different appearance. The average
cost to the parish for the removal of house refuse for the year 1896 was 9s. 3d. per inhabited house.
Looked at from this point of view
the cost of dust removal in Hackney is a moderate one.
