Great North Road at Hadley have been greatly
appreciated by the tradesmen and residents
generally. I think these benefits might with great
advantage be extended to the Station Road,
which is now such an important means of communication
in the neighbourhood. About a mile
and a half has already been tarred.
House Refuse.—An experiment was made
with a covered cart, but did not prove a success,
owing to the roof or covering being rapidly
knocked to pieces in the action of tipping the
loads. There does not appear to be a covered
cart on the market suitable for use where the
tipping arrangements are such as exist in most
suburban and rural districts. Enquiries are, however,
still being made in this direction. In the
meantime tarpaulins are used to cover the carts
and so mitigate any nuisance arising in dust
collecting.
Milk Supply.—This is obtained chiefly
from outside the district, and but few cows are
kept to supply milk for home consumption. The
milk shops and dairies are all in good condition,
and reasonable precautions are taken to keep the
milk from contamination. One cowshed that was
the cause of a good deal of dissatisfaction has
been abandoned by the owner.
