42. Carpenter's Work.—We are now employing a man
permanently on carpenter's work. The saving involved by
this is considerable, as he carries out repairs to water vans
and carts, slop and tar carts, wheelbarrows and other plant,
which has hitherto been given out to private firms at a much
greater cost.

Levels, Staffs, Chains, Tapes, &c.189100
£273456

The Stock Account will be laid before the Finance Committee
for audit, under Bye-Law 156 (5), in due course.
