To this amount must be added the quantity supplied by the more
distant and less frequented roads situate within the precincts of the
Metropolis Proper. These I will estimate at one-eighth less than that
of the roads of greater traffic. Some of the more quiet thoroughfares,
I should add, are not scavenged more than once a week, and some less
frequently; but on some there is considerable traffic.

The proportion of mac to the gross dirt collected is greater in the
more distant roads than what I have already described, but to be safe I
will adopt the same ratio.
