97. Latrines and Urinals.-The following public conveniences were completed during the year:
Trough Closet (6 seats) near north-east corner of Racecourse. Urinal at intersection of Glenealy and Caine Road.
Urinal (underground) at junction of Seymour and Robinson Roads.
The construction of a small trough closet underneath the steps leading from Duddell Street to Ice House Street was nearly completed and a similar convenience near Barker Road Tramway Station was begun. These two structures were not provided for in the Estimates and a supplementary vote for $2,000 was therefore taken to provide for the former. No expenditure was incurred on the latter. The trough closet on Conduit Road, for which provision was made in the Estimates, could not be proceeded with as its construction was involved with certain work which was in progress for a new approach path to Inland Lot 1549.
All the structures referred to above were of the usual type. The expenditure on those for which provision was made in the Estimates was as follows:-
1919 Estimates (total amount), $4,950.00
