    Bankfoot: Owing to economic restrictions this scheme was delayed during 1969 and at the end of the year was still in abeyance. Blackford: Owing to economic restrictions this scheme was delayed during 1969 and at the end of the year was still in abeyance. Grandtully: Owing to housing site difficulties this scheme, which had been designed, has not yet been put in hand. Strathyre: The existing private drainage systems which require some remedial work and alteration are to be taken over by the County Council, but the actual work will not be carried out until 1970. Gartmore: The design of a new scheme is being prepared by consulting engineers on behalf of the County Council and it is hoped that work will commence later in 1970. This particular scheme is of special interest since treatment will be by means of an oxidation ditch, this particular one being, as far as I am aware, the only ditch out of a very limited number in Scotland treating purely domestic sewage. Spittalfield: Owing to high unit costs this scheme has had to be completely revised and it is hoped that work can start in the latter part of 1970. Deanston: Prolonged negotiation and discussion with Doune Town Council on the feasibility of a joint scheme for Doune and Deanston caused considerable delay. Doune Town Council's decision early in 1970 not to participate has involved the re-design of the treatment works and work could commence towards the end of 1970. St. Fillans: This scheme is being carried out on behalf of the County Council by consulting engineers. Work should have been completed by early 1970 but the relaying of faulty pipelines has caused considerable delay. It is hoped that a large proportion of the scheme will be in operation by August 1970. HOUSING SCHEME EXTENSIONS During the past year sewer extensions for County Council housing have been laid at St. Madoes (Glencarse), Birnam, Gilmerton and Ballinluig and the installation of sewers by private developers has been supervised at Scone, Braco, Comrie and Muckart.
