Public Schools.
I have, as specially instructed, inspected the Public Schools in my
district, particularly in respect to the water supply and sanitary conveniences.
The water supply for drinking purposes at each school was
found to be drawn from the rising main, and the storage cisterns are
cleansed periodically. The sanitary conveniences and offices were found
to be in a clean and satisfactory condition.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
JAMES BULLOCK,
Sanitary Inspector, Inspector under the Sale of Food
and Drugs Acts and Inspector of Canal Boats,
East Combined Division.
