    The Ambulance service and equipment for street accidents has been considered and re- organised. There are now 7 special huts fitted with the necessary equipment placed in convenient positions of the Borough, each of which is attended to regu- larly as required. It has been decided to sewer the old portion of Moordown and a house-to-house inspection of this District will be jDroceeded with during the ensuing- year. Three Special Reports have been made as to Meat Inspection of the Borough, and your Com- mittee have carefully considered the questions raised and the general supervision of the Meat Supplies has been improved. Your Authority have also spent much time and attention to the question of the improvement of the Public Lavatory Accommodation of the Borough and have decided to provide free Urinette accom- modation for Ladies at the principal Lavatories. The dis})osal of House Refuse has been an anxious question for your Committee, but owing to the care and attention given to the several tips, only one series of complaints has been received on two successive days during the year. With the increased accommodation at the Lansdowne Park Destructor and the new Destruc- tor in hand at Southbourne, more efficient disposal will now be possible. Special Reports have also been considered as to Brick Fields King’s Park, Alton, Terrace, Fox Cot- tages, Bourne Stream, Right-of-Ways and Pas- sages, Regulations for Insnection of Districts, Smoke Nuisances and Employment of Children.
