Public Elementary Schools.
I have, as specially instructed, inspected the Public Elementary
Schools in my district, particularly in respect to the water supplies and
sanitary conveniences.
The water supply for drinking purposes at each school was found to
be drawn from the rising main.
The storage cisterns (which are used for supplying the sanitary
conveniences only) are cleansed out every three months, the sanitary
conveniences were found to be in a clean and satisfactory condition.
In some cases the drinking cups were found to be missing but have
since been reinstated.
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.
