Cleansing of Persons Act, 1897.
During the year under report 17 male adults, 292 male and
572 female children used the Verminous Baths and had their
clothing disinfected. The total number of articles disinfected for
this purpose was 3,456.
These figures are very low compared with 1915, since the
station was closed early in April, 1916, as the County Council
decided to do the cleansing of school children at their own station
at Chaucer Street School.
