Chesson, medical officer o£ health, wrote that he had made a recommendation modifying the area within which refuse should be collected at North cote. This exempted the portion of the borough which was practically entirely composed of strawberry beds, vegetable gardens, and small grazing farms. The secretary of the Board of Health, Wellington, ako wrote advising that it was understood the definition of the whole of Devonport and Takapuna boroughs, and the position of North cote, southward from Onewa and Gordon Roads, with limited exemptions northwards, as the area to be served on the North Shore for the collection of refuse, was agreeable to the three boroughs. It was decided to intimate to the Board of Health that the definition was ambiguous, and it would be necessary to go over the ground to see the location of the houses to ascertain which should be served, and that the council would be prepared to meet the board's representative and go over the ground and point out the area.
