paint-work, &c., was 101.
DISINFECTANTS.
The public still continues to avail themselves of
the opportunities afforded them by the Council in
procuring disinfectants (fluid and powder) and the
increase in the number of applications has been very
great, especially when the general good health of the
district during the year is considered.
The disinfectants are given out from the Sanitary
Department Store between 9 and 10 a.m. and from
4 to 5 p.m. each day. On Saturday from 9 to 10 a.m.
only, and precautions are taken, as far as possible to
see that children under the age of ten years are not
supplied.
The name and address of each applicant is carefully
entered in a book kept for the purpose, and the
entries shew that 25,586 applicants were supplied
during the year.
TEMPORARY BUILDING, CLAVRING'S FARM.
The wooden building, constructed to act as the
administrative block of the late Temporary Small Pox
Hospital, is still used for storing the bedsteads,
bedding, and numerous other articles which may be
of value in the future.
