RIVERS AND STREAMS.
From time to time inspections are made of the watercourses in the
District, and they have been cleared whenever necessary. No particular
difficulty has arisen in regard thereto.
CAMPING SITES.
The Boy Scouts' camping site at Featherbed Lane continues to be
used, and is conducted in a very satisfactory manner.
Tents and caravans are not a serious problem in the District, but
constant supervision is necessary to prevent undesirable conditions arising
through uncontrolled development.
SWIMMING BATHS.
There are two swimming baths in the District which are used by the
general public, and during the year seven samples of the water were
obtained for examination.
Two bacteriological samples from one of the baths were reported as
unsatisfactory, and, as a result of representations made to the owner, a
modern continuous chlorination plant was installed, with satisfactory
results.
SHOPS AND OFFICES.
As far as possible inspections have been made of the sanitary
accommodation, washing facilities, heating and ventilation of shops and
offices, and improvements have been effected as circumstances have
permitted. Further reference is made to food premises later in this
Report.
