At both the Isolation Hospital and the Enfield War Memorial
Hospital the sanitary arrangements are under the supervision of
this Department, and those at the Isolation Hospital are attended
to regularly in accordance with arrangements made by the Joint
Hospital Board, while those at the War Memorial Hospital are
attended to weekly as a voluntary service on the part of the Council.
In addition, a large amount of disinfection has been carried out
at the latter Hospital free of charge.
PUBLIC CONVENIENCES.
The public conveniences at the parks and pleasure grounds,
and also five attached to public-houses, making eighteen in all, are
under the supervision of this Department.
Those attached to the public-houses receive daily attention
by a man specially detailed from this Department for that purpose,
and are kept in a satisfactory condition.
The others attached to the Parks and Pleasure Grounds,
while under the supervision of this Department, are attended to by
Park Attendants, etc., as part-time employment, and this method
is not proving satisfactory and the time is approaching when the
question of more full-time attendance being given to these conveniences
should be gone into.
During the coming year I hope to be able to recommend an
alteration in regard to the attendance at the Gentlemen's conveniences,
and should I be happy enough to receive the support of
he Council in this, I shall be reporting further next year.
HORSE TROUGHS AND DRINKING FOUNTAINS.
Drinking fountains, and also four horse troughs in the District,
receive daily attention as regards cleansing.
PUBLIC MORTUARY.
One Public Mortuary in the District, established at the Enfield
Highway Cemetery, is constantly under supervision.
RATS.
It will be noted that fewer visits have been paid with regard
to the destruction of rats, and this may possibly be due to the fact
that householders are beginning to realise their duty in this respect.
One Inspector has left the Department to take up private
work, and the Council greatly assisted by appointing two Inspectors
