PREMISES AND OCCUPATIONS WHICH CAN BE CONTROLLED
BY BYE-LAWS.
None in the District.
SCHOOLS.
There are three Public Elementary Schools in the District: Hayes
Council School, Clayton Road ; Dr. Triplett's School, Hayes Town; and Yeading
Elementary School.
The medical examination of school children is provided by the Middlesex
County Council, and cases of Infectious Disease coming to the knowledge of
Head Masters and Head Mistresses are at once notified to your Medical Officer
of Health and dealt with by him, but there is no provision for the treatment
of other ailments pointed out by the Medical Examiners. The general sanitary
condition is good.
FOOD.
(A.) Milk Supply.—The milk produced within the District is of excellent
quality. The Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops are regularly inspected by myself
and your Sanitary Inspector, and all are in a most satisfactory oondition. No
samples of milk have been taken for analysis by the Officers of the Council.
There are no arrangements in force for the inspection of milking cows for
evidenco of Tuberculosis.
(B.) Other Foods.—One seizure was made during the year, viz.: a
box of fish. The condition of Bakehouses is generally good, and the condition
of Slaughter Houses excellent.
(C.) Sale of Food and Drugs Act.—No action has been taken.
HOUSING.
The housing accommodation for the industrial classes in the District is
undoubtedly insufficient, and there are still many cottages occupied which in my
opinion are quite unfit for human habitation. Closing orders have been issued
for a number of these, but owing to scarcity of dwellings the Council has not
proceeded to demolition. Land has been acquired for the erection of 22 houses
