The number of rooms disinfected in 1921 was 1,136.
In regard to treatment of premises with the object of destroying vermin, it may
be noted that in order to assist owners and occupiers of infested premises, arrangements
have now been made for placing at their disposal a spraying apparatus and a
supply of a liquid believed to possess great destructive powers in this direction. This
liquid is known as "Fluid D," and appears to be some form of petroleum. The
results obtained up to the present have been fairly satisfactory, and a considerable
number of persons have made use of the facilities provided for trying the effect of
the treatment.
