ORDERLY BOYS.
There are now fourteen Orderly Boys at work in the main
thoroughfares under the direction of a Foreman. It is a
difficult matter to keep them constantly at their duties, but
nevertheless they pick up a large quantity of horse droppings
in the course of the day which would otherwise he carried all
over the streets. Sixteen Bins have been placed in the streets
for their use to prevent the nuisance which was previously
caused by the accumulations by the kerb.
DUSTING AND SLOPPING.
The contract for dusting was carried out by Mr. Henry
Covington, of Battersea Park, at a cost of £2,900, and that
for slopping by Mr. William Mead, of Paddington, at a cost
of £1,600.
I am, Rev. Sir and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
HENRY MONSON, Assoc. M. Inst. C.E.
Surveyor to the Vestry.
