Surveyor's Annual Revort
83
The quantity of Dust, Ashes, and Road Sweepings remove.! to
Newington Depot for the year ending
25th March, 1891 22,033 tons.
" " 1892 23,863 tons.
I based my estimate for the saving on the tonnage of the year
101, that, m my opinion, being a fair average year's scavenging,
???v ich, at 2/4 per ton, would be £2570.
I must draw the attention of the Vestry to the fact that the
???ual quantity of refuse per annum is steadily increasing. The total
???t in money cannot be a fair comparison, but the cost per ton per
a mm should be the figure to deal with, and if the Vestry continue
???t present arrangement with the Strand Board, the comparison of
???t years 1891-1892 against 1893-1894, will give more accurate
???rults.
There has been a considerable diminution in the quantity of
??? using removed during the past two months, and 1 look forward to
???e suing year to show a greater saving than during the past year.
A. M. HISCOCKS, C.E.,
Surveyor.
