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
Eighteen samples of rag flock and other filling materials were
examined during the year. Seventeen proved satisfactory.
One sample of Rag Flock failed to satisfy the prescribed test. A
warning was given to the manufacturer as it was found that there was no
deliberate contravention of the Regulations made under the Act.
A repeat sample was taken and proved satisfactory.
PUBLIC CONVENIENCES
There are eight public conveniences in the Borough under the supervision
of the Senior Public Health Inspector. A new convenience in Pymmes
Park with entry from Silver Street 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.
