covered type, the open vans being in my opinion a
far from sanitary method of collecting refuse.
Workmen's Dwellings.
The Council at present own two schemes of
Workmen's Dwellings, viz., Loraine and Powell

erected. In the latter case, the whole of the buildings
on either side of Dalton Road were purchased,
and extensive alterations and repairs effected, the
name of the road being altered to, as far as possible,
give the scheme a fresh start. Some little difficulty
has been found in making this scheme properly pay
