The survey was duly carried out and the result reported to the
Council on 7th April, 1905, by the Education Committee, when it was
decided to serve a list of works on the Managers of the schools which
were then deemed to be unsuitable.
The requirements as to drains and sanitary fittings are those which
closely concern you as being the Sanitary Authority, under whose supervision
the necessary alterations and amendments will have to be effected.
In the case of St. Mary's School, Holly Place, it was resolved "that
the premises were altogether unsuitable," but in regard to the other
seven, the works were required to be carried out, and completed in
six instances by the 31st July, and in the other by 31st December, 1906,
as a condition precedent to the taking over of the schools by the London
County Council.
So far as they involve drainage and sanitary fittings the requirements
were as follows:—
All Soul's School, Fairhazel Gardens.
Mixed Department.
To provide sufficient lavatory basins for the girls.
Infants' Department.
To provide sufficient lavatory basins.
All Departments.

the building to scale.
To put the drains in a sound condition.
