FACTORY AND WORKSHOP ACT, 1901.

PROCEEDINGS.
Proceedings were taken during the year in respect of:—
(a) nuisances at 12 houses, (b) the exposure of unsound cheese
for sale, (c) the non-registration of a cow-keeper.
ROADS.
The condition of many of the roads in the district has given
cause for anxiety due to accumulation of stagnant liquids and
detritus. The gradual substitution of all water-bound road surfaces
by surfaces of an impervious character is a necessity from an
hygienic standpoint.
REMOVAL OF REFUSE.
The irregularity in the removal of household refuse due to the
War, demands immediate consideration with a view to re-establishing
at the earliest possible moment the weekly collection of all refuse,
in any case before the advent of the hot weather.
