In July the Council agreed that in view of the use made by
the public of the urinal at the Red Lion Public House that the
Cleansing Superintendent arrange for its cleansing and disinfection.
In October it was agreed that the convenience at Peel Road,
Wealdstone, be modernised and upon completion of the work,
for four attendants, two male and two female, to be appointed.
The London Passenger Transport Board have erected a convenience
at the new station at South Harrow. This will be open
to the public in consideration of a payment of £2,000 by the Council,
the Company maintaining the convenience and providing the
necessary attendants.
With the development of the district further provision of
sanitary conveniences will be necessary, particularly in the
neighbourhood of shopping centres. The two districts most
urgently calling for attention are Kenton, near the Station, and
Pinner.

has been used. Particulars of the building were given in last
year's Report.
122 bodies were received during the year. On 90 post-mortem
examinations were held, and on a further 13 inquests without

Swimming Baths.
Particulars of the two swimming baths were given in the
Annual Report for 1934.
A pressure filtration plant is installed at both baths and
alumina-ferric is used as a coagulant. Free chlorine is injected
into the filtered water, and daily tests are carried out for the
presence of free chlorine in the water and for the pH value.
The duration of the turnover period varies according to the
amount the baths are used, but it is at least once a day and at
busy times once every eight hours.
During the summer the attendances at the Harrow Baths
were 102,837, and at the Wealdstone Baths 84,259.
