By examination of the following table, which shows the number of
loads of house refuse removed during the year in each month, with
the increase or decrease compared with the corresponding months of
the previous year, it will be seen that up to the month of July there
was a great excess of loads removed compared with the same periods of
1900, but in the month of July this excess almost disappeared, and
in the last five months of the year the excess changed to a decrease,
which amounted at the end of the year to 3,527 loads.
