Work Undertaken.—The Mechanic Superintendent now undertakes repairs to the following
motor vehicles in the Council's service:—
Health Department 7 vehicles.
Fire Brigade 4
Engineer's Department 1 „
as well as the engineering work of the Municipal Hospital.
Repainting of Vehicles.—Three vehicles of the Health Department and one of the Engineer's
have been overhauled in the workshop and repainted by Tuckers' as per contract during the year.
The Motor Ambulance Service is much appreciated by the Public and the demands on it are
rapidly increasing. At least one new vehicle is required as a stand-by and to assist in the work.
The vehicles attached to this service have now been in constant use for 7 years and it is due to the
efficiency and watchfulness of the Mechanic Superintendent that these vehicles after 7 years hard
service with many changes of drivers are still efficient and capable of meeting the many calls made
upon them.
GEORGE F. BUCHAN,
Medical Officer of Health.
