A difficulty the present contractor
has had to meet, has been the great
diseases of inhabited houses
during the year which reduced
what would have been a sufficient
staff for dust removal at the
beginning of the year when he
look the contract, quite inadequate
for the satisfactory performances
of the work towards the middle &
end of the year-
There is no serious
pollution of streets in the districts so for as
Throw, but some of the districts
are little better than open sewer,
such as a ditch at the
back of the house on the
right house side going down
victoria Rd house shoe more
near the basement shop at the bee hive-
The sanitary requirements of the
district at the present time
are there mentioned in my
report for 1892, namely the
completion of sewerage
system so as to include the
hamlet known as the Horseshed
& the beehives & Diggings-
a hospital for Infections diseases
& the making up of the roads
on the elements estate, St hary's estate
