Your Worship, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honour to submit to you my sixth Annual Report which I have prepared upon the lines previously submitted. I would once again thank you for your support during the year and the ready assistance of the Town Clerk, also the co-operation of the other officials and the loyal help of the staff of my Department. On perusing the report it will be seen that 1950 was a year of solid work and progress on all sides and, while much remains to be done, particularly in the field of housing, one can but feel some satisfaction upon the work achieved.

During the year 52 houses were completed at Stalls Farm Estate, 32 houses were in progress In December. On completion these houses will practically finish this Estate, A contract for the erection of twelve bungalows for aged persons was being prepared in December. A start had been made on the treatment of the grass islands and the asphalting of the Verges at the Stalls Farm Estate and this had resulted in a much improved appearance. Two more houses were occupied at the Roundabouts Estate during the year thus completing this small Estate. With the end of Stalls Farm Estate in sight your Council decided to proceed with the development of the St. Peters Crescent Estate. Theconstruction of the roads and sewers were advertised for tender at the close of the year, and your Council had then decided to develop the Estate with non-traditional houses, contracts being offered to Messrs, Wates Ltd. and Messrs. Selleck Nicholls & Co.Ltd. for Cornish Unit houses.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29168880_0021.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
