DISINFECTANT DEPOTS.
For the convenience of inhabitants there are three depots for
distribution of disinfectants, situated in convenient positions,
and open daily from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. From these stations
during last year 22 tons of powder and 2432 gallons of disinfectant
fluid were distributed to persons applying for it with an order from
the Department.
During the year a new distributing depot has been opened in
Church Road, Manor Park, and this will be a distinct advantage
to the inhabitants of that portion of the Borough.
SCHOOLS.
The Sanitary arrangements of both the Public and Private
Schools have been regularly inspected, and were usually found to
be in a satisfactory condition.
The refuse is collected weekly by the Council's staff.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES (ANIMALS) ACT.
Since this District has become a Municipal Borough, one of
the duties involved upon the Council is the carrying out of the
Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act.
