Spraying and Cleansing Floors of London County Council Schools
with Electrolytic Disinfecting Fluid.
1,705 gallons were supplied to London County Council Schools
for spraying and cleansing floors of classrooms.
Swimming Baths, the Use therein of the Electrolytic Fluid.
The fluid continues to be added to the water in the swimming baths
in the same proportions as mentioned in the Annual Report for the year
1909, viz., 1 part of Chlorine to 2,000,000 parts of water. 4,196 gallons
were supplied to the Poplar Baths, 4,223 gallons to the Bow Baths,
2,124 gallons to the Island Baths, and 1,219 gallons to the open-air
swimming baths, making a total of 11,762 gallons.
In November, burglars entered the main Electrolytic Depot and
removed the platinum from a number of the electrodes. A month later
the Depot was again entered, but nothing taken.
In view of these occurrences, the old plant was dismantled by
removal of the platinum, and the Medical Officer of Health considered
whether the old plant (with its use of platinum) could not be efficiently
replaced by additional cells in the new plant.
Early in 1930 the Council agreed to the replacement of the old plant.

Cleansing of Verminous Children.
The cleansing of verminous children (under agreement with the
London County Council), which had been suspended on account of
Smallpox, was resumed on the 7th October, after consultation with the
Divisional Medical Officer of the London County Council. Arrangements
were made that when there were Smallpox contacts in the Shelter, there
would be one female assistant with the School Nurse who would have
nothing whatever to do with the Shelter. Also, the clothing from the
children for disinfection is kept quite distinct and separate from the
Smallpox disinfection work.
