Disinfecting Station, Cleansing Station and Shelter
Early in the year application was made for permission to raise a
loan to carry out the building of a disinfecting station, cleansing station
and shelter. In October the Ministry of Health held a Public Inquiry
into the application for sanction to raise the loan and have since considered
the plans which had been prepared.
