Surveyor's Anmurt Report.
SCAVENGING, WATERING,
AND
REMOVAL OF DUST DEPARTMENT
The Contract entered into by the Vestry with the Strand
District Board of Works for the reception of refuse, &c., at their
Shot Tower Wharf, Commercial Road, Lambeth, lias been
orily performed during the past year, every facility being given to
The Yestry's workmen, and for the horses and vans to carry out their
Work. For further details see Page 80.
The Courts and Alleys throughout the Parish have been cleansed
nd disinfected by the Vestry's workmen during the hot weather.
I would suggest that street orderly bins should be fixed in the
borough High Street and London Road for the collection of the horse
???oppings. This would prove advantageous as a sanitary measure.
The horses forming the Vestry's stud are generally in good.
Health and. doing well, except the horses Jonathan and Quality
???oth partly lame, and in my opinion should be replaced with fresh
horses.
The Vestry employing a Wheelwright tor the repairs of the
???ans in this Department, will prove to be advantages, but having
???gard to the worn condition and lengthend period the vans have
been in use, in my opinion, the time has now arrived for the purchase
???f some fresh vans.
