FLUSHING.
The small sewers and courts were flushed at intervals
during the hot weather as found necessary. The cost of
water was £98 18s. 11d.; labour, £10 3s. 1d.; and repairs
to hose, £13 0s. 7d.
DISINFECTING.
The gullies and market streets were regularly disinfected
during the summer months. The disinfectants used
for all purposes amounted to 574 gallons of carbolic acid,
and 2 cwt. of chloride of lime, costing £20 8s.
URINALS.
The saving of water at the Urinals throughout the
Parish continues to be very great in consequence of the
general adoption of the trough system, while at the same
the Urinals are much sweeter. Excluding the Conveniences
at Piccadilly Circus, the water has cost £49 4s. 5d. this
year, as against £48 8s. last year. In former years it was
close upon £120 per annum.
A constant supply of water is now laid on to all the
Urinals in the parish except one, and the automatic apparatus
belonging to the latter is worked from a tank fixed
above the urinal, which is filled daily from the Water
Company's mains.
The iron roof of the urinal in Bridle Lane has been
removed, and a glass one, protected with wire netting fixed
