Recently the City Council completed a survey of shelters, following a request from the State Government for advice as to the number of shelters the council proposed to demolish, and which, called for a 50 per cent, subsidy. A City Hall official said yesterday that the council had decided to proceed with the demolition of 169 of the structures, at an estimated cost of £14,810. The remaining 69 shelters were capable of being converted for public use. It also had been decided to leave certain of the temporary public lavatories in the city until the council could construct permanent lavatories in the same localities.
