Dusting.
Mr. William Reed is the Contractor for removing dust, ashes, &c., from the
dwellings of the inhabitants, and out of the Parish. The Contractor also agrees to
remove, when required, from mills, factories, and premises, trade refuse, &c., upon
payment by the occupiers thereof at 2s. 6d. per cubic yard. (For particulars of

In January, 1889, the Vestry resolved to increase the district to be dusted
under the pail system for collecting the dust from the dwellings of the inhabitants
twice a week, by the addition of the whole of that portion of the Parish east of the
northern boundary of the Surrey Commercial Docks as far as Plough Bridge,
including about 2,000 houses, which with the 1,000 houses supplied with pails in
1888, made a total of about 3,000 houses in the Parish so supplied.
The Contract entered into by Mr. William Reed with the Vestry in March,
1889, for removing dust for 12 months under the said resolution was as
follows, viz.:— £ s. d.
