The board decided to reduce the rate of charge to Is 3d a thousand gallons, provided they used not less than half a million gallons a month.

St. Cuthbert’s College was granted permission to run the water used in cleaning the filters of their swimming baths into the board’s sewers, provided they do so under the superintendence of a board inspector.

The board decided to enforce the by-law, compelling all cars to show lights except when parked under the glare of street lamps. The inspector was authorised to prosecute offenders
