They were cleansed three times per day on
Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesday, and twice a
day on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and
once on Sundays. On Thursdays and Fridays the
men clear out the patent gullies in the Courts and
Alleys, hence the urinals only being cleansed twice
instead of three times.
Owing to the rebuilding of the "Midshipman"
P.H., Skinner Street, it was considered desirable
to set back the urinal at the side of these premises;
the work was carried out at the expense of the
owner of the "Midshipman."
A new urinal was erected at the north end
of Winchester Street, at the joint expense of the
Clerkenwell and Islington Vestries.
Application was made by the International
Hygienic Company, for permission to remove the
urinal on Clerkenwell Green and to erect a Kiosk
in place of same; the whole of the expense to be
borne by the Company. The Vestry gave their
consent to the proposal, and a Kiosk, having a free
urinal with six stalls, and w.c. accommodation for
five persons (for the use of which a fee of one
penny each person is charged) has been erected
under the direction of your Surveyor.

The street watering was done by the Vestry's
own vans, extra horses being hired as required.
3,711,000 gallons of water were used, the amount
paid for which, including rent of meters, was
