DISINFECTOR.
A Steam Disinfecting Apparatus (Mr. Washington Lyon's
Patent) is being fixed at Digby Street Yard and a suitable
building erected to enclose it. From the printed report of
the Sanitary Committee on Disinfection, it appears that
by means of this apparatus the Sanitary work will be much
more efficiently and rather more cheaply carried out than
heretofore.
In conclusion, I would remind the Vestry that, although
this report nominally deals with the year commencing
Lady Day, 1884, the various works referred to are
practically those executed since June, 1884, at which time
I entered upon the duties of the office.
I have the honor to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
FREDK. WM. BARRATT,
Surveyor to the Vestry.
