Dust Removal and Scavenging.
This work has been satisfactorily performed by the Council's
own staff.
There is a weekly collection of house refuse throughout the
district, and the absence of any complaint of nonremoval shows
that the staff carry out their duties satisfactorily.
The refuse is disposed of by burning in a destructor of the
Horsfall type.
Yours obediently,
WENTWORTH TVNDALE.
The Chairman ami Members,
Hampton Urban District Council.
