It is obvious that 1270 additional Loads of Refuse to be carted,
sifted, barged away or otherwise disposed of must entail increased
expenditure. The refuse removed from the Parish has increased
during the past year over 8 per cent.; but the expenditure has
only increased 5½ per cent.
The following is a Statement of Stock on the
25th March, with the Committee's estimate of the
value of same, a Wharf Committee having visited
the Wharf for the purpose on the 7th April last.
