† Ford Road opened April, 1908; Trego Road and Stebondale Street. June, 1909.
The Public Health and Housing Committee considered complaints made at meetings of the Council of insufficient centres for
distribution of disinfectants, especially in North Bow and recommended the Council that additional distributing centres for disinfectants
be opened at North Bow and Cubitt Town. Rooms at 37, Trego Road, and a shed at 97, Stebondale Street, Cubitt Town, for the purpose
of additional distributing centres were obtained, at a rental of 4/- per week in each case. The opening of these depots for half-days
involved the employment of one additional man.
‡ Works Department.
§ One man manufacturing at 35/- per week.
Two men (bottling and delivering, one man
being extra on account of the demand for the fluid) at 32/- and 30/- per week.
