The signs previously existing have been destroyed. The floodlighting on the beaches at night is not efficient and the question is to be referred to the Borough Council, which is also to be asked to supply one of its unused fire-hose reels for a reel for lifesaving club lines. It was reported that the Windsor Beach Is to be equipped with a shute through the Devonport Ferry Company, which recently supplied a pontoon for that beach to replace one destroved by storms during the winter.
