Licences granted for storage of rag flock 2
PUBLIC CONVENIENCES
The public conveniences in Edmonton are completely free and it is possible
to wash the hands, soap and paper towels being supplied free in addition to hot
and cold water. In order to make sure the service is not abused by the odd
destructive citizen each convenience is under the charge of an attendant at the
time it is open. There are eight conveniences each with a male and female side
and an attendant on each side ,and the standard of cleanliness is extremely good.
From time to time we get letters of appreciation from people who have passed
through Edmonton and used the conveniences.
