    A new Ford truck was put into the service of garbage collection in August and the service extended to the Cable Beach properties on the Western Road. With the continued extension of building activities in the out-lying districts, it is apparent that another truck will be an absolute necessity in the near future, and I would re¬ commend that provision be made in the next year’s estimates for this purpose. The street sweepers and other common labourers now re¬ ceive 3s. per day. Lowlting Areas. Sand has continued to be provided gratis for the purpose of filling in of swampy areas. A statement of Expenditure and Receipts is hereto attached I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, H. F. KNOWLES, Chief Sanitary Inspector. The Chairman, Health Board.
