Talks have been given from time to time to various
Women's Organisations in the Borough and also to Food Trade
Organisations. The Chief Sanitary Inspector has addressed meetings
at Bournemouth, Farnborough and Guildford on the Ealing
Clean Food Scheme and we have had many requests from other
Local Authorities for information regarding the scheme.
I am of the opinion, however, that one of the most useful
forms of publicity from a practical viewpoint is that undertaken
by the Sanitary Inspectors during their routine inspections of
food premises and I think that the success we have so far achieved
in our lecture scheme is largely due to the personal approach
to those engaged in the food trades and to the establishment of good
relations between food traders and the Council's Officers.
BATHS AND SWIMMING POOLS.
The Council's swimming baths are equipped with pressure
filters for continuous filtration and the water is treated with
chlorine under strict supervision. Tests for the efficiency of
chlorination are taken daily.
There are three privately owned swimming pools in the
Borough, one of which is not at present in use.
One is maintained by the Staff Recreation Club at a large
factory and the other is provided in connection with several blocks
of flats. Chlorine treatment is carried out at each of them.
PUBLIC MORTUARY
The arrangement with the Acton Council for the use of the
Acton Mortuary was continued during the year. 215 bodies
were taken to this Mortuary and post-mortem examinations were
carried out in every case.
