1900 Removal Of Sanitary Pans. A complaint having been made regarding the system of removing the sanitary pans from houses at Fremantle, a representative of this journal day waited on Mr. Laudehr, of Messrs.

Mr. Laudehr said that an assertion that it was the custom of the nightmen when emptying the pans to shift them from house to house, was altogether untrue.

Mr. Laudehr added that he favoured the adoption of the Healed double-pan system, whereby each pan was regularly disinfected and tarred, but the local hoard of health looked upon it as being too expensive.
