Slaughter Houses.
There is only one in the District, subject to an annual
licence.
Public Elementary Schools.
Disinfectants are supplied for use in the lavatories,
and also to be added to the water with which the slates,
desks and floors are washed.
During the vacations the schools are thoroughly disinfected.
I would again urge the necessity of a supply of paper
in the school W.C's by the Managers.
