SANITARY INSPECTORS' WORK, &c., AND POLICE COURT
PROCEEDINGS.
On account of drainage work being carried out at St. Saviour's
Church Schools, Arcadia Street, it being necessary to abolish the
old drains which pass under the building, and also to remove the
sewage sodden earth, a conference took place with the Vicar, Architect,
and H. M. Inspector. It was decided that the school should
be closed whilst the work was being executed. The next day, acting
on my advice, under the 88th section of the Code of Regulations for
Day Schools, Mr. Bussey (the then Chairman) and Mr. Riddall (a
Member of the Board) visited the schools, and gave the Managers
notice to close, and exclude all children from the school until the
work was carried out. The school remained closed from the 28th
February to the 13th March.
