In tlie.se cases the board ' could not undertake to remove the spoil itself y but felt that if the owner were to receive a small Return for it lie would feel inclined to let the Board have it. The question arose out of a letter from Messrs Armstrong and Co ; stating that it had a fair quantity of spoil on a section adjoining the garage which they would offer to the Board free lor removal. Suggesting that perhaps a price of up to 9(1 per- yard be, paid to owners of such spoil provided they removed it to land, which was being reclaimed Mr \V. R. Boon .said concerned could remove it at his that, if this were done the person own convenience. He of course, be required to dump it wherever was indicated by the Board. It was also decided that where owners wished to dispose of spoil at times when the Board was not doing/reelamaTioii woi J k ) the Chairman should'be empowered to pay a portion of the cartage costs when the material was dumped according to his direction.
