Total Quantity Manufactured since Installation of Plant.
Since the plant has been installed, a period now reaching seven years
nearly a quarter of a million gallons have been manufactured at a
cost for electricity and materials of about £480—£272 for electricity and
£208 for material. The fluid costs under one-halfpenny per gallon.*
The Public Health Department is not only furnished with the
disinfectant and the various institutions of the Council (the public baths,
etc.), but the institutions of the Managers of the Sick Asylums and of the
Board of Guardians (within and without the Borough) are supplied with
an unlimited quantity free.
For the fluid supplied to the Works Department a charge of 1d. per
gallon is made ; the Public Health Department is credited with this
amount although no actual monetary transaction takes place.
As applicants now usually bring their own receptacles to the Depôts
there is also a very appreciable saving in the expense on bottles alone.
