Water Supply.—Most of the houses in the Borough have
the water supply either on the ground floor or in the yard, and
many of these houses are, of course, inhabited by more than one
family. Quite a number of houses are without a direct supply
from the rising main. Water supply has been installed on one of
the storeys of 28 tenement houses, after services of notices.
Water Closet Accommodation. —Practically every house in
the Borough has one water closet, which is, in many cases, shared
by two or more families. Many of the flats have one water-closet
to two families.
Schools. —The sanitary accommodation in each of the schools
has been inspected twice during the year. The conditions existing
at one school have now been modernized.
