![The Tefuse Destructor was worked during the two out- breaks of Sinallpox, when all refuse from the infected areas was destroyed by fire. The remainder of the refuse was mostly tipped in the Greenside Valley In such a manner as not to lead to com])laints or the creation of a nuisance. The Tip is free from vermin, but care has to be exercised to prevent nuisance from smoke, waste paper, etc., in windy weather. Tlie use of the Tip is only continued for reasons of economy. The remaining available accommodation is limited, and will eventually be exhausted when the resump- tion of dealing with refuse in the Refuse Destructor wiR become imperative.
