The destruction of pigeons causing nuisance at one of the
London County Council's elementary schools was also successfully
undertaken.
Fouling of Footways by Dogs.
In November proceedings were instituted in respect of an
offence (reported by the Police) against the bye-law made by the
Council in 1927 (and renewed in 1929) with regard to the fouling
of footways by dogs. The defendant was ordered to pay £1 1s.
costs.
The application of this bye-law to the Borough appears undoubtedly
to have effected a diminution of this objectionable form of
nuisance on the public footways.
Personal Cleansing Station.
During the year 1934, there were 3,780 children and 209 adults
cleansed and treated at the station. Of the 3,780 children attending,
941 were suffering from scabies or itch, a contagious parasitic
skin affection. The remainder were verminous. Of these children
3,706 attended from the public elementary schools in the Borough
by arrangement with the London County Council, who have entered
into a contract with the Borough Council for the use of their
Personal Cleansing Station. The cleansing and treatment of the
school children is carried out under the supervision of officers of
the London County Council while the disinfestation of the clothing
and of the homes is carried out concurrently by the Borough
Council's sanitary staff.
There was an increase in the number of infested persons treated
at the station as compared with the previous year.
