Cleansing of Verminous Children.— The new disinfecting
apparatus has enabled the Engineer to disinfect these children's clothing at a
steam pressure of 2.0 lbs., equal to a temperature of 260 degrees Fahrenheit,
and to dry them while the heads and bodies of the children themselves were
undergoing cleansing at the hands of the nurse whom the Council has appointed
for the work.
The arrangement between the London County Council and the Borough
Council came into force in the early part of 1913, by which it was agreed that
the latter body should receive 2s. for each set of baths given to a child during
a calendar month.
The total amount thus received was £104 6s., being the sum payable for
the 1,043 sets of baths which were given.
These baths were as under :—
318 sets of 1 bath to each child.
123 do. do. 2 baths each do.
508 do. do. 3 do. do.
66 do. do. 4 do. do.
25 do. do. 5 do. do.
2 do. do. 6 do. do.
1 do. do. 7 do. do.
*1,043 do. do. 2,496 baths
* Note.—14 of these sets were commenced in 1914, and completed in the current year.
