Warminster ~ Motor Lorries For Refuse?

From The Wiltshire Times, Saturday 3rd February 1940:

Warminster. Motor Lorries For Refuse?
Refuse collection in Warminster may shortly be carried out by motor lorry instead of horse and cart, if the Ministry Of Health sanctions a loan for the purchase of a motor lorry by Warminster U.D.C.

The Public Health Committee reported that an experiment with a motor lorry had shown that a driver and two loaders could deal with all the refuse from the town and the barracks in five days, with a little overtime on Monday and Friday. It was estimated that with reorganisation, and the employment of only one loader instead of two, the extra cost of using a motor vehicle would not be more than £85 a year.
