Medical Inspection of School Children.
The medical inspection of school children is carried
out by the Education Department of the Surrey County
Council, but I have in many instances been called in to
see children who have been suspected to be suffering
from infectious or contagious disease, and my services
are always available for this purpose on an application
from the Heads of the various schools. The
sanitary condition of the schools within the area of the
Croydon Rural District has received ample attention.
SANITARY SURVEYOR'S DEPARTMENT.
I am indebted to Mr. Chart for subjoined information
:—
Sewage Disposal Works.
The use of the new contact bed has considerably
improved the condition of the land filtration area by
the relief afforded it, but it will be necessary, owing to
the increasing population, to extend these beds during
the ensuing year.
Sewer extensions are being proceeded with at
Smithambottom Lane and new roads abutting thereon,
and Hayes Lane and Welcomes Road, Coulsdon, to
obviate the necessity of draining the houses to cesspools;
a new outfall sewer being constructed through the
Woodcote Valley to Purley to receive the first-named
sewer.
