    No housing eu^as were brought to your notice for recommended slum clearance, but in the meantime most of the existing condemned properties were demolished, with considerable improvement to the various localitits« Progress with the Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act and the Clean Air Acts has been satisfactoryo Disposal of household refuse is a problem and eventually there will be no convenient holes left to fill up. The type of refuse Is changing, for example, with more prepackaged goods being purchased in plastic containers which do not decompose in tips. This service may well prove to be one where we should think big beyond our local government boundary, and perhaps join with other authorities to thoroughly study and effect a solution. To my colleagues my sincere thanks for their continued good work and to all Members for their interest. I have the honour to be. Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, Jo V. DYER. Medical Officer of Health
