In view of the possibility that the equipment might be required in the fuel difficulties of last winter no further action was taken with regard to the disposal of the balance. It is considered that the disposal of the remainder of the equipment may now be proceeded with and those Department (Department of Education, Office of Public Works and the Department of Industry and Commerce)
that have been making inquiries regarding the purchase of the equipment have been so informed.
When the requirements of Government Departments as indicated above have been satisfied the next step will be to circularise local authorities.
