DISINFECTING DEPARTMENT.
During the year a new Disinfecting Station has been
erected in the Parish—in the Wanless Road, Loughborough
Junction, at the rear of the new Coroner's Court and
Mortuary, and at the bottom of Arlington Lodge (a house
purchased by the Vestry for £560, Law costs, £6 0s. 8d.,
in 1896). The Station consists of a main building,
divided into two distinct and separate rooms (an
infected and a disinfected) by means of a brick wall,
a stove room, and outhouses, and is fitted up with
an Equifex saturated high-pressure (101bs. to the square
inch) steam disinfecting machine, boiler, and automatic
recording guage—the Station being now in full working
order; so that the Parish is provided with two stations
and two machines (the other being situated at the Wharf),
and the work of disinfection can be divided up and
consequently carried out more expeditiously and more
efficaciously. The Wharf Station serves the Inner, and
the Wanless Road Station the Outer, Wards. There is
also a distinct staff of officials for each Station, with
separate men to fetch infected goods, and separate ones
to return them when disinfected—(he Disinfecting Staff
being increased when the Wanless Road Station was
opened on Oct. 31st, 1897, and consisting now of:—
A. Norris (Superintendent) 42/ per week.
