RUBBISH DUMP
RATS AND OLD TINS A letter was received at Monday's meeting of the Whakatane Borough Council from the Whakatane Harbour Board, stating that Board, would make available a site for a rubbish dump about halfway along the Strand Extension Road. The harbour board said that it had been agreed that all tins and tanks should be crushed and covered with spoil, as if tins were uncrusheil they provided a refuge for rats and vermin. The Mayor said that the letter was not quite correct. They had seen the chairman of the harbour board and he had waived the conditions.. The clerk added that the harbour board had offered a site and the council would control the dump as at present. No top-dressing would be considered necessary. Cr W. Sullivan said it was afrusrd to ask the borongh to flatten, tins. These could be dumped unflattened to one sid«, and the roadline filled in with heavier rubbish.. Eventually it was decided that the council should inspect the site with harbour board officials and try to come to some arrangement.
