Although we have had extremely wet weather we have been able to maintain a very fair regular collection and again I think an appreciation is due to the outside staff for the loyal manner in which they have carried out their duties. I feel the provision of decent protective clothing and drying facilities has been appreciated. j. Municipal bin^ scheme is still in operation, as shown below bhis year shows that bins oi the painted variety are becoming worn out and we again have a greater replacement than in previous°years. \ Paid On Rates .
