SALVAGE.
I regret that owing to the serious drop in prices it has become
practically impossible to dispose of waste materials that might be
collected from the refuse.
We have, however, done our best to continue with the following results :—
| Kinds of Refuse. | Amount Collected. | Amount Realised. | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tons | Cwts. | Qrs | lbs. | £ | s. | d. | |
| Waste Paper | 2 | 19 | 0 | 0 | 12 | 4 | 9 |
| Old Iron, Tins, etc. | 80 | 13 | 0 | 0 | 66 | 11 | 0 |
| Unsound Foodstuffs, etc. | 1 | 14 | 0 | 26 | 19 | 1 | 9 |
| Totals | 85 | 6 | 0 | 26 | 97 | 17 | 6 |
FACTORY AND WORKSHOPS ACTS, 1901 & 1907.
A register of all workshops is kept, and at the end of 1919 there
were 66 workshops, 7 laundries, and 55 bakehouses registered.
The following tables give details of the work done in connection
with these places, as required by the Home Office :—
