The weekly collection of the house refuse during the
summer months continues to be much appreciated, and
is no doubt highly beneficial to the health of the district.
Year by year the complaints of inattention decrease,
whilst the supervision and attention given to this important
contract is never relaxed. During my own experience the
annual cost of this work has increased by £815, it is an
expenditure which contributes largely to the comfort, convenience
and well being of the district."
