The above Services are under the control of the Engineer and
Surveyor's Department.
DUSTBINS
The replacement of defective dustbins has been a difficult
problem for property owners in recent years.
During the past three years the Council has had in operation a
scheme whereby the Council purchased a quantity of bins through
local tradesmen, and delivered a new dustbin to any house on
payment of the cost and delivery charge.
This scheme appears to have met with approval by 110 owners
to whom dustbins were supplied during the year.
PUBLIC MORTUARY
The public mortuary is still maintained, but in view of staffing
difficulties and convenience for post-mortem examinations use is
made at present of a Hospital Mortuary.
