SCAVENGING, WATERING,
AND
REMOVAL OF DUST DEPARTMENT.
The quantity of Dust, Ashes, Road Sweepings, and Fish Offal removed
to the Newington Depot, for the year ending 25th March last, was as
follows, viz:—
Dust 18800 cubic yards.
Road Sweepings 11800 „ „
Fish Offal 1300 „ „
I think it would be more economical that the Water for Road Watering
should be supplied by Meier from the Water Company, instead of by
Contract as at present.
SEWERS DEPARTMENT.

House Drains connected into Sewers
