![PUBLIC CLLAITSING The total area of collection remains the same as for previous years. REFUSE COLLECTION ■ ■ VJeekly collection is made to most of the area, certain outlying areas receive a fortnightly collection. All business premises in the centre of the town receive two collections weekly. The use of paper sacks has been extended to allaew council property and has proved satisfactory. REFUSE DISPOSAL The disposal of refuse is still far from satisfactory. Much discussion, enquiries and investigations were carried out during the year, and the possibility of incin- eration v/as X'^ursued. Several Members visited Andover to see an incinerator and were suitably impressed. The Public Health Committee then decided to carry out refuse dis]posal by incineration. No definite results had been reached by the end of the year, and discussions still continue on the same question of refuse disposal.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b28860962_0015.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
