To the Vestry of the Hamlet of Mile End Old Town.
Report of Committee for Dusting and Cleansing.
Wednesday, 8th January, 1890.
Your Committee beg to report that they met on Monday,
the 30th day of December, ult., there being present Messrs.
T. Cook, Bull, Martin, Furness, and Taylor.
(1) That your Committee considered a claim for 5/- from the
North Metropolitan Tramways Company for damage to their
Car, through the same coming into collision at Bow Bridge,
with a Mud Van belonging to the Vestry, and your Committee
from information obtained in the matter, came to the
conclusion that the Vestry's carman was not to blame, and
therefore recommend— That the Vestry deny liability in the
matter.
(2) That your Surveyor reported further correspondence with
Messrs. Wm. Whitford & Co., and that they would require
£2 17/- beyond the £27 in their tender of the previous date,
for the supply and fixing lean to projecting roof at the Sifting
Shed at the Dust Wharf, in consequence of the rise in the
price of material, and your Committee resolved to recommend
—That the request be acceded to, and that the offer to do
the work for the sum of £29 17/- be accepted.
(3) That your Committee pursuant to the reference of your
Board, have considered the petition from the Dustmen,
requesting that they may be paid £11/- per week wages,
instead of being paid by the load.
One of the complaints mentioned is that during wet
weather, they are unable to collect dust from the houses and
are compelled to stand off, but your Committee find that this
is not the fact and that when dustmen are not engaged in
carting dust they are engaged driving slop carts, and are
then paid at the rate of 4/- per day.
