    Rodent Control. There was no significant change in the level of rodent infestation andi the Council’s Rodent Operator continued to deal with all complaints and known areas where reinfesta- tion occurs. The sewers were treated by a private contractor as in previous years. Public Conveniences. Two additional Public Conveniences were erected for users of the beach at Morfa Bychan and ‘he Public Convenience at the Park was extended and improved. The Council’s policy of allowing free use of the conveniences has not produced any increase in vandalism but rather the contrary. Caravans. The Caravan Sites are continuing to improve and there appears to be a growing demand for sites for short stay touring vans. General Observations. The output from the Slaughterhouse remains at approximately 'the same level as previous years, but due to shortage of slaughtering staff, they are compelled to work overtime during the summer months and this entails inspections after normal hours. New development in the area, although showing a welcome increase in the popular- ity of Portmadoc, brings problems in its wake, such as maintaining adequate inspection of work in progress. New legislation adds to the problem and it is quite impossible for the department to carry out its multifarous dulties satisfactorily without additional tech- nical Staff.
