send their men into every street in the Parish on every
week-day, and to remove the refuse from such of the
premises as the men may be called to. In the event of any
difficulty being experienced in obtaining the removal of
refuse, a postcard addressed to the Vestry Clerk will
ensure a prompt removal.
The removal of house refuse would be greatly facilitated
by the general adoption of portable dust receptacles. These
should not on any account be placed in the street, but kept
within the householder's premises in some convenient place
readily accessible to the dustmen. They should not be too
large to admit of being taken up by a man unaided. The
refuse would thus be removed bodily and speedily, avoiding
the dirt and unpleasantness inseparable from the system of
transferring the contents of a dustbin to a basket for
removal. Portable receptacles may be purchased of any
ironmonger for a few shillings.
CONSTANT SYSTEM OF WATER SUPPLY,
Owing to the extension last summer of the area supplied
by the Grand Junction Waterworks Company, under the
constant system, and a contemplated similar extension of
area by the New River Company, the whole of the Parish
will shortly be supplied with a constant service of water.
SLAUGHTER HOUSES AND COWSHEDS.
The last remaining slaughter house in the Parish became
disused in the course of the year, and there is therefore now
neither slaughter house nor cowshed in the Parish.
