The number of rooms disinfected in 1929 was 1,128.
At the request of the Public Libraries Committee, whose rule requires 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 254.
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.
