N.S.W. Flood Clean-Up
f.VJI.P A.-Reuter—Copyright) SYDNEY, Nov. 23. Royal Australian Air Force “fog” machines began spraying disinfectants on streets and buildings in floodravaged New South Wales towns today. The huge "shampoo” is expected to take at least four days. Windsor, Richmond and dozens of smaller Hawkesbury settlements have begun clearing up their worst flood since 1867. As a health measure carcases of hundreds of drowned sheep and cattle have been destroyed with sump oil and kerosene fires. About 300 houses in the area are skill flooded, but 55 houses which were evacuated earlier have now been reoccupied.
