repaved, channelled, redrained and ventilated: one redrained,
channelled and repaved. One unsightly urinal was taken away and
a new one constructed in a better position. The Council agreed in
this latter case to cleanse and light the same and provide the water
supply.
The Council's urinal at Pymmes Park has been very much abused.
During the year several attempts have been made to damage the
automatic flushing tank, the lead supports to which have been stolen
and four padlocks broken, and this notwithstanding the Council's
public notice cautioning offenders.
The Council's urinals at Grove Street, Angel Road, and Lower
Edmonton Station are cleansed twice a day during the week and
once on Sundays, and are also scraped and coated with hot tar as
often as necessary.
I hope the year 1906 will see the proposed public convenience for
both sexes in evidence on the Green, and at Angel Road, also at
the noith end of the district. This latter place I have had under
special observation during the year, with the result that the serious
nuisance caused by the want of proper urinal accommodation has
been reduced to a minimum; but I found that the numerous complaints
received were fully justified.
INFECTIOUS DISEASES HOSPITAL,
WINCHMORE HILL.
The Joint Hospital Scheme is now practically in effect. The
telephonic communication with the hospital will, I hope, be installed
in a few days.
The parents and patients frequently express their gratitude for
the kindness shown them, and it is particularly gratifying to see
some of the poor anxious to give some token of their gratitude in
the form of a donation to the treat for the little ones in hospital at
Christmas.
