Reconstruction of the weir on the Sibleyback stream. 2. Alteration in the method of supply to Bullen Down Farm, resulting in a greater amount of water being available at the St, Cleer reservoir. Sewerage and Sewage Disposal These matters have been under consideration for a number of years and although a firm of consulting engineers has been engaged to submit a scheme, no concrete plans have been put forward for the Council's approval. Meat Inspection This matter is still a serious problem - the oa© abbatoir operating and catering for a considerable area and requires the services of a meat inspector almost full-time.
