9064 Loads of Dust at £407 12s, 8d. is equal to 10¾ per load,
being a reduction from last year of 3½d. per load, a result due to
the direction of the Committee of the 14th July last, that the
Superintendent insist upon each sifter sifting three loads per day.
Street Sweepings.— During the year 7724 loads of street
sweepings and dung were removed from the Parish, 372 of which
were collected on Sunday mornings. 172 freights were barged
away at a cost of £134 1s. 6d. Horses and vans have been hired
of Mr. Stubbs during times of pressure, at a cost of £116 19s. 2d.
This is principally attributable to the direction of the Vestry that
the horses and vans used in dusting are not to be taken off that
work when extra slopping is necessary.
Watering.— Only a small part of the watering was done by
the Vestry staff, but for 71 days, between April 15th and September
17th, an average of 7.4 horses per day were hired from
Mr. Varney for the purpose at a cost of £240 9s. Od.
