The board decided that it would maintain its conditions that tanks and tins be crushed and the dump covered with spoil as it was extended. Correspondence on the matter, including a letter from the Health Department, was read. The chairman said that they had discussed the matter with the borough and they then understood that the borough agreed to the harbour board conditions. The borough now as much as said that the harbour board had agreed to them filling the dump in their own way. They did not want to crush the tins and tanks deposited there. Mr R.
