The maximum number of lodgers who may be received

VANS.
There are three caravans in the yard at the side of 261,
Latimer Road, used for living and sleeping purposes by
five adults and three children. The average cubic capacity
for each person is 100 c. ft.
Regular inspections have been made, but owing to the
absence of special regulations and the fact that these vandwellers
are of the lowest gypsy-type, any improvements
in the sanitary conditions effected are of short duration.
In Britannia Yard, Wharf Road, there is one caravan
in which two adults sleep. No nuisance has been observed
during inspections.
In the National Car Park opposite the White City Stadium
there are five caravans occupied by nine adults and two
children. Other vans park here from time to time. This
site is a good one and the occupiers are of the showman
type with well-fitted caravans. No nuisance has been
observed during inspections.
Schools.—The sanitary condition and water supply of
the Schools is a matter which requires very little attention
from the Public Health Department. The supervision
of the schools is in the hands of the London County
Council, but combined action has been taken when and
where required, with a view to preventing the spread of
infectious disease.
An arrangement exists whereby cases of Measles,
Whooping Cough and Chicken Pox are notified by the
Head Teacher to the Medical Officer of Health, at the
same time as they inform the Divisional Superintendent.
These cases are followed up, and the premises are
inspected with a view to any insanitary conditions being
remedied.;
