Inspection of Schools.
The schools in my division number eight, each of which was inspected
during the year.
At one school works of sanitary improvement were found to be
necessary in connection with the sanitary offices and accommodation,
the work was completed after intimation to the Authorities. At the
remaining schools the sanitary condition of the lavatories, conveniences,
water supplies, and fittings was satisfactory.
Tuberculosis and Measles.
In addition to the ordinary notification of infectious diseases, in all
cases of measles notified from schools and in cases of tuberculosis the
homes of the patients were inspected and advice given re isolation and
disinfection, to prevent the spread of infection and all insanitary conditions
were dealt with.
Housing and Town Planning Act, 1909.
The premises, 3, Ingelheim Cottages, West Ferry Road, closed as
unfit for human habitation by an order of the Council under the above
Act are now unoccupied.
Premises where Food Stuffs were Sold or Prepared for Sale
Periodical inspections were made of the following premises:—
Bakehouses, 7—1 German closed since raid.
Slaughterhouses, 1.
Tiipe dresseis and sausage makers, 9—3 Germans closed since
raid.
Dairies and milk shops, 21.
Ice cream vendors, 22.
Coffee shops and dining rooms, 34—2 since demolished and 1
closed.
Fish shops, 10.
In all cases where cleansing, limewashing, or other works of sanitary
improvements were necessary the matter was brought to the notice of
the occupiers by written intimation, which in every case was complied
with. The regularity of the periodical inspection of these premises has
impressed upon the occupiers the necessity of cleanliness and limewashing,
etc., of kitchens and places where food is prepared or stored.
This was proved by the amount of work already completed or in progress
(without notice) at the time of my visits.
