The Council make no charge for the use of the Mortuary.
In this Mortuary one of the three cubicles is fitted up
like a miniature chapel. I should be glad if residents would
remember to use this chamber for their deceased friends,
especially in the Summer, and whenever their home accommodation
is limited.
RAG FLOCK ACTS, 1911 and 1928.
There are no premises in the District in which Rag
Flock is manufactured.
In two factories in the District Rag Flock is used for
the purposes of upholstery. In each instance it is supplied
under guarantee and samples are frequently chemically
examined and the reports are open to inspection by the
Sanitary Officers. No samples were taken by the Council's
Sanitary Officers.
SCHOOLS.
The sixteen Elementary and the two Secondary Schools
provided by the Education Authority are inspected periodically,
and, in addition, visits are paid from time to time
to the various private schools. They have been found to be
in good sanitary condition, furnished with a supply of water
direct from the main, and the sanitary accommodation is
usually kept in a satisfactory manner. In cases of infectious
disease, necessary steps are taken to exclude patients and
contacts. No schools were closed during the year on account
of infectious disease.
