Number of Verminous Children Bathed
A Committee of the London County Council suggested that with a
view to simplification of accounts, payment should be made by he
County Council to the Borough Council, at the rate of Is. per bath,
instead of 2s. per child cleansed (irrespective of the number of baths),
for cleansing of verminous children. The amount of Is. per bath is the
present approximate average cost throughout London.
The Public Health and Housing Committee had no objection to a
make to the proposal, and recommended the Council that the Agreement
with the London County Council for cleansing verminous children be
revised as proposed. The Agreement commenced 1st January, 1917.
