Road Wharf, Chelsea. Newington Vestry Depot, Longfield,
Burtons Wharf Nine Elms, Paddington, Whitechapel,
City of London and Lambeth Depots. Information was also
procured by the Surveyor as to Battersea, Bournemouth,
and Southampton Destructors, and an elaborate Report
upon the whole matter and information as to results
obtained, was presented to the Vestry on the 29th April,
wherein the Joint Committee reported their opinion that it
was not desirable to recommend that Dust Destructors be
erected in this Parish, which Report was eventually
confirmed by the Vestry.
The Committee had also referred to them by the
Vestry as to the expediency of one uniform system of
collection and disposal of the Dust and Trade Refuse of
the Metropolis being undertaken by the London County
Council, and they came to the following conclusion and
which the Vestry eventually adopted:—"That at the present
time it is inopportune to make any recommendation in
favour of the dust being collected by the London County
Council."
The Committee, on the conlusion of their labours,
accorded a vote of thanks to the Surveyor and other officers
for the able manner in which the Committee had been
assisted in prosecuting the manifold enquiries.
