Offensive Trades.—The only business which comes under this heading is the Soap Works, and I
am satisifed that the business is carried on in a most careful and efficient manner, and with an entire
absence of nuisance of any kind.
Dust Removal and Scavenging.—This work is carried out by the Council's own staff in a very
satisfactory manner.
There is a weekly collection of house refuse throughout the District.
The refuse is disposed of, by burning in a two cell Horsfall Destructor at the Sewage Disposal
Works, in connection with which a boiler is installed for use as an adjunct to the existing boilers which
supply steam to the air compressing engines for lifting the sewage.
Sewerage and Sewage Disposal—The district is divided into areas for the purpose of sewerage:
each area discharging its sewage by gravitation into a Shone Pneumatic ejector: from which the sewage is
lifted by compressed air to the Disposal Works in Han worth Road.
Nearly the whole of the properties in the district are connected to the public sewer: all drains
are laid on concrete: with inspection chambers at each change of direction.
The work of construction is under frequent inspection, and the drains are tested with water
pressure before being covered in and with smoke on completion.
The installation at the Sewage Disposal works comprises a screening chamber, detritus tanks, a
hydrolitic tank and triple contract beds.
The sewage is delivered on to the primary and secondary contact beds by means of a travelling
distributor.
There is also a settling tank between the secondary and tertiary contact beds to arrest the suspended
matters from the primary and secondary beds.
The effluent is discharged by gravitation into the Thames at the south-eastern boundary of the
District.
The works have been carried on in a very efficient manner during the year.
I enclose the returns for the Local Government Board, the Home Office and the County Council,
and a tabular statement of the work carried out by the Inspector of Nuisances.
Finally, I beg to express my great thanks to the Inspector of Nuisances, Mr. A. Shail, for the
loyal and efficient assistance I have had from him at all times during the past year; particularly in times of
stress and anxiety.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
WENTWORTH TYNDALE.
To the Chairman and Members,
Hampton Urban District Council.
