Storage Plant.—The petrol storage plant installed in January, 1915, is still working satisfactorily,
and saves on present consumption about £40 per annum.
This plant which finished paying for itself in 1919 by its saving in taking bulk supply has cost
nothing in upkeep except the replacement of one delivery hose.
Workshop Plant.—This is in good order and effects a great saving, both in Motor and Hospital
repairs which are both increasing.

Medical Officer of Health.
