Miss BONDFIELD

When submitting an application for grant the local authority is required to estimate the weekly average number of men to be employed on the site of the works. In the case of the Keynsham sewage scheme the estimate was 100 men for 12 months, and in the case of the Midsomer Norton sewage disposal scheme the estimate was 30 men for 18 months. On 24th April last, the date of the most recent count, the numbers of men actually employed on these schemes were 53 and 38, respectively.
