Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

AN illuminating table has recently been compiled by the Institute of Public Cleansing, the figures which it contains being based on replies received from 199 local authorities to a questionnaire sent out by the Institute. It shows the number and classification of vehicles employed in the various branches of the cleansing services, the average annual mileages and the amount of increase in taxation that would be incurred in the event of the Salter Report being adopted.

It is divided into six classes, and in each case the vehicles used for street cleansing and watering, gully cleansing, refuse collection and refuse disposal are dealt with independently, according to the carrying capacity of the vehicle. We have not space to deal with the tables separately, but the following summary clearly shows how the suggested increased taxes will hit local authorities, and indicates that ratepayers will have to find well over another £65,000 per year to meet taxation charges on cleansing vehicles used by municipalities.
