It offered the appliances in the park to the council for £10 14s. The offer was accepted subject to the approval of the lessor of the park. A letter, signed by twenty-five residents, was received.complaining of the .offensive smell of a piggery on the river bank. A Health Department inspector reported that he had inspected the piggery and had asked for certain improvements.

The council decided to take no action pending a further report from the inspector.
