employed to put the Bedford and the grader into working order. I myself spent a great deal of time on these jobs. The car' had also had a complete brake and knee-action steering overhaul, and is mechanically sound underneath. Most of this work I did myself. I have pleasure to state that ali of the Council’s mechanical plant is now on the road, in good order.” The chairman commented that it was nice to see metal going on the roads and to know that the mechanical plant was in good order. Cr Coutts asked what revenue had been lost by the grader being off the road.
The engineer replied that the bal-ance-sheet at the end of Mlarch would show a loss, but he would make it up during the year, especially during the dry summer months. '.As to the grader, the turn-table had been constructed of steel, instead of cast-iron. He had fitted on the last ball-bearing rose, which experience had shown lasted eight months. He had arranged to import two more from Sweden.
Cr Laimbeer: I think you are asking the grader to do too much. The engineer: It is doing a herculean task.
Cr Coutts said it was satisfactory to know that the revenue lost would be made up.
