Modern Vehicle Proposed to Tackle Sunshine Garbage
Mr Robinson urged the Health Committee to fund a two week demonstration of a new motor vehicle able to clear about 1400 garbage tins per day. He noted 1000 households lack service while 600 pounds worth of drays could be sold. Two drays would stay for unmade streets and savings of about 15 pounds weekly would cover fuel and maintenance.
