In preparing this report on the activities of the Public

services were maintained during the year 1942, in spite of the
increased difficulties mainly due to the manpower situation.
HOUSE REFUSE COLLECTION.
The total weight of refuse collected during the past year was
22,706 tons. This shows an increase compared with 1941 - due most
probably to the return of residents who had been evacuated. From
this tonnage 5663 tons of salvage were returned to industry - thus
saving valuable shipping space and probably lives of some of the
Merchant Navy.
The analysis of the refuse still shows that large quantities of
tinned foods are being consumed; a drop in the ash and cinder
content, and despite the many appeals to keep separate waste paper,
cardboard, rags etc., a large amount is still being mixed in with
6.
Women's Clinic.- Sessions were held weekly, with one
consultant session monthly.
