    4U REFUSE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL This is cairied out by the Cleansing Department of the Corporation. I am informed by the Director of Public Cleansing that the amount of refuse collected by his department increased slightly. This was mainly due to the several reductions in the price of waste paper during the year. Organisations and individuals under- taking the collection of waste paper began to discontinue such activities and more and more of this commodity found its way into the refuse. The amount of refuse dealt with at the Refuse Disposal Works was 28,533 tons, whilst in addition 24,734 tons were tipped away, and 1,325 tons of night soil were removed.
