BOROUGH NOTICES. REFUSE COLLECTION: This" matter has received the careful attention o£ ? he council, and it _ has reason to pride itself on the sanitary condition of the new Tip on the Quarry pr.-.p.-rty at Oak'fy Creefe. which H, in rhe opinion of the Medical Officer of Health, one of the besr-arransred and '"ast objectionable '"dumps"' in the Dominion. On the Quarry there exists ample suppli''= of volcanic earth _ for covering up the refuse immPdiately it i= dumpo.l. this work being always promptly attended to. Tin 1 old rip on , the Reserve, re which ?•> I much has been heard, has. nf course. j long been abandoned, and Its location cleaned up. The collection of the refu-se is carried out by motor v-hic'.e. a more-up to-date method than that of some other district-. During the year a special "c!ean-up" | arranged for. and on thl~ ) occasion nearly ioo tons of | r»-fi!>e was t-uilecteJ. j NEW NORTir ROAD: 1 Th" nur«tandinjr pxpensp in f-onnes-tion wiih general maintenance work througlioiit rh>» borough has been the New North Road, the cost being £3320 for last year. A huge sum of money would be required tn jhit ai'.ri keep the roari in a good state of repair, but as it is anticipated that the road will be laid In concrete in the near future. The ■ ■ouni-il has not felt .justified in spending iiht»- than i* necessary on maintenance. Further efforts hav>> been made 'to I ohraln a subsidy from the Main High- j ways Board for this work, so far without sui'opss. and it may be n<H*es- ' sary to take steps to have" a Govern- j inenr CommlMnn appointed in order j to have the cost of tti" work allo.-at.-rl between the local bodies who use the road. ADMINISTRATION : Owing ro the amount of engineering | work being larrieil out. it was depnieil advisable ro appoint a resident onsinenr i for Muunt Albert, atul this has be-n flon»\ Mr. \V. H. Cook, late of New Plymouth, having taken up his duties with the borough. and has already proved himself to be a capable and pnergetic officer. Mr. Conk, with his staff, has been temporarily arcoinmodatPil in a rented (Sundayi school room, but it will be necessary, a> soon as possible, to provide permanent and suitable accommodation fur this department. | REVENUE; AND EXPENDITURE. 102.1-26. j The total revenue, apart from loan I moneys. fnr the year just ended. ] amounted to X 50.5)00.
