The arrangement for storing refuse and awaiting disposal was very
bad. At present refuse is dumped into a dilapidated bin. This matter
is under consideration.
5. This cinema has seating accommodation for 700 persons, and
the seating accommodation is good and roomy. The sanitary accomodation
consists of two w.c's. for females and one w.c. and two urinals
for men. The w.c's. are of the pedestal type; the urinals are of white
glazed earthenware, stall pattern, and are provided with an automatic
flushing cistern. The whole of the sanitary accommodation is well lit
and is permanently ventilated. The floors are of impervious material
and the walls are painted ; the accommodation is clean and satisfactory.
The cinema is ventilated by means of 14 air inlet gratings in the
walls round the building, admitting fresh air, while the exhaust air is
drawn out of the building by electric extractors fixed in the roof; the
system appears quite effective.
The floor is covered with lino, which is washed with carbolic daily,
and the seats are gone over daily with a vacuum cleaner. A good
standard of cleanliness appears to be maintained. Two dustbins are
provided for the refuse. The man responsible generally uses the dustbins
as incinerators for burning the waste paper, tickets, etc., but it
was pointed out that this practice was creating a certain amount of
nuisance and should be discontinued. Another bin has now been
provided, and the waste removed in the usual manner.
6. This is a new and thoroughly up-to-date restaurant attached to
and associated with a super-cinema. 200 clients can be accommodated
at the same moment. There are 21 females employed, for whom one
w.c. and one lavatory basin are provided. One w.c. and one lavatory
basin are provided for female patrons. The kitchen is about 22 feet
by 15 feet, and it is exceptionally well lit and airy. The floor is
impervious and the walls are painted so that cleansing is easily
accomplished.
Food Storage. The appliances for this are excellent. A large
refrigerator of the "Frigidaire" type has been built into the wall:
there are two large larders adjoining the refrigerator. All the foodstuffs
used in the restaurant are kept under ideal conditions. The restaurant
is ventilated by the Plenum system, the same plant as that which
supplies the cinema. There is also a shop attached, where we noted
