    PUBLIC CLEARSIEG SERVICE - The collection of refuse is carried out by the Local Authority_ over the whole district, the ashbins in the district being emptied once a fortnight. Shortage of labour of the right type has been wholly responsible for any reduction of efficiency or regularity of the service which may have been evident during the year. SALVAGE - The 130 Salvage Stewards still continue to operate fairly successfully, and a weekly collection is made from sacks which they put out each week. In addition salvage is collected by the refuse collectors. During the year a new storage depot was provided at Grove Lane. The collections shew a considerable reduction on the peak figures for last year - the reduction was mainly in paper and metals and is in my opinion quite understandable at this stage of the effort.
