15 FEBRUARY, 1893.
That your Committee having considered the clauses seriatim
resolved to suggest to the London County Council as follows :
(1) Clause 1, section 16 (2) (a).
That the part of the proposed by-law fixing the hours for
removal of offensive or noxious matter between 5 to 10 a.m.
in summer, and 7 to 10 in the winter months, be struck out,
and the hours between 10 p.m. and 9 a.m. inserted, and
apply to all seasons.
(2) Clause 3, section 16 (2) (b), House Refuse.
That the words "and furnished with a sufficient covering "
in the proposed by-law, be struck out, your Committee being
of opinion that it is not necessary to have a covering in all
cases.
(3) Clause 5.
That this clause, fixing the period for removal of house
refuse to not less than twice a week, be struck out, for the
reason that it is not necessary, and is provided for already in
the Public Health (London) Act, 1891, that the Sanitary
Authority shall remove the refuse at proper periods, and that
that matter ought to be left to the Sanitary Authority.
Beside which, the cost would be enormous.
(4) In clauses 6 and 7, which require the removal of any
cargo or collection of offensive refuse, &c., within 24 hours,
the time should be extended to allow 48 hours.
(5) Clause 14, section 39 (1).
That this clause, with regard to ashpits, ought to be struck
out, as the statutory powers to Sanitary Authorities are
already sufficient, and that they ought not to be restricted to
allowing one kind of ashpit.
(6) That clause 23, as to providing receptacles for dung, ought
to be struck out, as being unnecessarily oppressive.
