V“ rte Park: Railing along the shore wok repaired where necessary. The bathing houses were in very bad condition and received new roofing. new steps and the underpinning replaced where needed. The beach at the end of Brighton Road was I cleaned of broken glass and stones. land raised during the summer months. A large amount of fill was placed between the roadway and breestworlt, along the west- side. to replace that washed away by the tide and storm and to afford protection to the base of the pavement in that area. The . caretakers house received minor repairs and painting. This bulld- ing has outlived its usefulness and is barely habitable in its pres- ent condition. Lt il now so far gone that any extensive repairs would merely be throwing money away. The Council will have ‘to make a decision, this year, to either build the caretaker a new cottage or pay him more money and have him find his own quart- ers, the latter solution not being a desirable one.
