This work is an occu])ation which is carried out in all states of weather, and at times can be very irksome, and I would pay tribute to the staff for their loyalty and endeavours at all times to ensure a regular collection of the town’s refuse. Due to the parking problem, collection of refuse in the summertime creates many “ headaches.” The shopkeeper or business premises require the refuse removed, the refuse collector wants to remove it, but due to the fact that cars are parked and, in the majority of instances, locked, as many as six visits in one day have to be made to enal)le the refuse to be removed. Being a car driver myself, I do appreciate that the lorry driver and men become short-tempered at times. I also feel that the general public should appreciate these diffi- culties.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2887609x_0036.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
