Some improvements may come as the result of a recent decision by the council with reference to garbage vehicles. The attention of the council has been directed to the probability that an improvod system of routine inspection would, to a, great extent, diminish the quantity of waste material collected during tho annual clean-up days."

The attention of the council had been especially drawn to thenecessity for improved '■ routine inspection, the supervision, of stables, and the enforcement of requirements with regard to garbage receptacles. Aa far as possible supervisory measures were being undertaken hy officers of the Health Department.
