Sewerage Scheme Delay Not Council's Fault in Manilla
The Manilla Municipal Council states the sewerage project delay is not its responsibility. The Department of Public Works promised machinery and a pump well for 14 months, with delivery dates slipping from 1951 to late 1952. The mayor claims overseas order and possible misdelivery, urging faster delivery and protection of local supply.
