As mentioned in last year's Report, the Corporation decided to
provide free accommodation at each convenience, in accordance with the
recommendation of your Medical Officer.
This was effected early in 1906, and there is now one free W.C. at each
convenience, Avith the exception of Golden Lane, where three are free, and
Farringdon Street South, where there are two free ones. At Circus Place
one W.C. is now kept free for women in addition to the one reserved for
children.
The suggestions of the Medical Officer of Health with regard to the other
existing free W.C's have also been carried out.
Doors without inside bolts but with locks under the control of the
attendants have been substituted for the doors without locks and the curtains
previously in use.
