In the case of al1 the egg the Medical Officer of Health holding the consignment
has approached me to know whether I would agree to the materia
being released and coming to Hammersmith for the particular treatment. After
noting the type of salmonallae present I have agreed to despatch. We have
received batches from London, Liverpool, Bristol, Cardiff and Glasgow.
The firm's own scientific staff also supervised the process and applied
their own bacteriological control.
The experiment has proceeded according to plan and has been a success.
Swimming Baths
During the year a total of 45 samples of water were taken for chemical
analysis and bacteriological examination from the Council's swimming baths
at Lime Grove and the Open Air Swimming Pool, Bloemfontein Road.
It has been established that the action of sunlight is an important
factor as regards the loss of free chlorine in water.
Following reports that samples taken at the Open Air Swimming Pool
were low in chlorine content during the hot sunny spell in June, I decided
to increase the frequency of sampling especially whilst this kind of weather
persisted With the co- operation of the Baths Superintendent a satisfactory
chlorine content was reached and maintained.
Markets
Two of the four markets in the borough are privately owned the Uxbridge
Road Market on the site of the Silver cinema and the market in Railway
Approach At the other two markets Bradmore Lane and Norland Road street
traders operate from approved pitches licenced by the Borough Council under
Section 21 of the London County Council (General Powers) Act, 1947. Licences
are renewed annually upon application from the holders Providing the conditions
prescribed in the Licence have been fulfilled (and in the case of
food satisfactory storage accommodation etc ) the Licence is renewed. The
majority of Licences issued are in connection with foodstuffs The present
stallholders have held Licences and occupied the same pitches in the markets
for many years and in almost every case the business is a family concern.
