    On the cost side the department has been faced with wage increases and also increases in the cost of petrol, tyres and other materials. In spite of these, however, the expenditure for all services shows a reduction of some £1,800 as compared with last year’s costs. Turning now to the disposal side of the service I feel the depart- ment can take a certain amount of pride in the work nearing com- pletion in Grange Park. When the site was taken over the gradients were so steep as to render the land useless but the filling with house refuse having been properly consolidated and finished to determined levels has resulted in a beautiful level area which now only remains to be turfed and will then make the finest playing field in the area.
