RAG FLOCK AND OTHER FILLING MATERIALS ACT, 1951
Number on Register at end of year:-
Premises where filling materials used 14
Licences granted for storage of rag flock 2
Ten samples of rag flock and other filling materials were
examined during the year. All proved satisfactory.
PUBLIC CONVENIENCES
There are seven public conveniences in the Borough under the
supervision of the Senior Public Health Inspector. During 1959, a new
Convenience in Pymmes Park with entry from Silver Street was under
construction. This Convenience was opened early in 1960.
No charge is made for the use of any part of any Public
Convenience on either Male or Female side. Free hand washing facilities
are provided and paper towels are supplied. An additional wash
and brush up service is available on the payment of a small charge.
There are two Attendants in each Convenience, one on the Male and one
on the Female side and premises are kept extremely clean and neat.
There is no doubt that the Public Conveniences in Edmonton are among
the best in the Metropolitan area.
