In the month of October a special inspection was
made to ascertain the sanitary condition of all the
schools in the parish. As a result of this inspection a
special report was made at the request of the Putney
Committee. There was found to he insufficient school
accomodation for the number of children attending the
Charlwood Road National Schools. Serious defects
were pointed out in connection with the sanitary
arrangement of the school. The School Committee
showed every desire to remedy the defects pointed out.
After an interview between Mr. Lee, the Surveyor, and
myself, the works were put in hand and have since been
completed. Plans have been made for building an
additional school beside Putney Lower Common which,
when erected, will doubtless provide ample school
accommodation.
In conclusion I have to thank all those associated
with myself in carrying out the sanitary work of this
sub-district and also the members of the Putney Local
Committee for the support and assistance I have at all
times received from them.
Wm. Y. ORR, M.B., C.M., D.P.H.,
Medical Officer of Health for Putney and Roehampton.
