Of the 16 samples giving Grades 3 and 4 results, 10 were from
one firm. In July, 1954, in view of unsatisfactory conditions at this
firm's premises in respect of the manufacture of ice cream, the

able to give, resulted in subsequent samples being found satisfactory.

water, reports on the samples taken, couched in general terms, were
displayed at the Bath.
Attendances at the Bath of members of the St. John Ambulance
Brigade during crowded sessions and hot week-ends has been
continued. This assistance is very greatly appreciated.
As hitherto, the Superintendent of the Swimming Bath and

close and cordial as in past years.

effect on health, particularly on the health of children.
