Efforts are being made to intensify interest in what always was to many an irksome necessity. The total for the various materials collected and sold are as follows :— Paper Rags and Sacking Bones Kitchen Waste Ferrous Metals Non-Ferrous Metals Bottles and Jars Cullet Miscellaneous 130 tons 4 ,, 53 „ 10 cwts. 21 tons 16 ,, 10 cwts.
