Sanitary Inspection of the Area; and Shops.
These subjects are dealt with in the Report of the Chief
Sanitary Inspector.
Camping Sites.
There are none in the district.
Smoke Abatement.
Smoke nuisances were found at 4 factories and abated
after informal action.
Swimming Baths and Pools.
There are none in the area.
Eradication of Bed Bugs.
Bed bugs were found in three Council houses and 63 other
houses, all of which were disinfected.
The methods employed for freeing houses of bed bugs
are to require the stripping of paper from the walls and the
loosening of woodwork in the rooms. The Council's workman
then sprays the rooms with an insecticide (Solution "D")
and burns sulphur candles therein, the openings in the rooms
being sealed. When considered necessary, the bedding is
removed and steam disinfected.
Schools.
The sanitary condition and water supply of the schools
are satisfactory.
