AUCKLAND MUNICIPAL HANDBOOK


Arrangements were quickly made to bring a supply of pure water from Onehunga, a distance of nearly 4 miles.

At the present time, plans are being prepared by the City Engineer for the remodelling of the Abattoir, which will convert it into the largest and most up-to-date slaughter house in the Dominion. Provision is being made for twice as much hanging space as now exists, additional killing space, and a chilling room. The lack of a chiller has long been a stumbling block to the more rapid expansion of this branch of municipal enterprise.

R. W. RUGG,

Works Manager.
