The number of rooms disinfected in 1925 was 750.
At the request of the Public Libraries Commutes, whose rules require that on
the occurrence of a case of infectious disease in any house in which there is a
library book, information must be given to the librarian, arrangements were made
to receive and disinfect the volumes. The number dealt with during the year
was 195.
The arrangements referred to in previous reports for placing a spraying
apparatus and a supply of "Fluid D" at the disposal of owners and occupiers
of premises infested with vermin continued in operation. The sprayers were in
great demand and satisfactory results were obtained.
