Suggestions have been put forward to provide and maintain special lamps at selected dangerous places, to be controlled by clockwork mechanism, so as to provide for lighting every night and morning during the winter. This suggestion is receiving consideration.” Housing.—The number of houses at one time expected to be erected by the Council was 422, but owing to the alteration of the boundary of the Rural District, and to resent modification of views as to the number really required, it cannot be said at the moment that any number is definitely decided upon.
