    FROM THE REPORT OF THE SANITARY COMMITTEE, 25th January, 1881. AGREEABLY to your Reference to us of the 2nd November last, we have taken into consideration so rauch of the Medical Officer’s Report of that date as relates to the disposal of Refuse by new methods recently adopted in some of the large provincial towns. We appointed a deputation to visit Leeds and other places where the new processes are In operation, and they appear to have been much impressed by the great facilities afforded thereby for getting speedily rid of a large amount of objectionable refuse without any nuisance.
