Chemical tests for chlorine content of
Swimming Pool water made by Inspectors -
78.
Throughout the war period fortnightly
samples of the public water supplies have been
submitted for bacteriological examination and
the results passed to the respective Water
Companies, while also the Water Companies
submit periodically their results to the Medical
Officer of Health. The water supply has
remained bacteriologically satisfactory and
sufficient in quantity although there has been
call for economy from time to time, a call
which in the present circumstances is to be
understood, and which is due also in part to
the persistently low rainfall.
DAY NURSERIES.
The 8 Day Nurseries with 348 places have
been well used and given gooa service throughcut
the year. The Council have lately made
representation to the Ministry of Health
suggesting 2 other Nurseries, 1 in North
Kingsbury, the other in Tokyngton, but the
Minister so far has not consented to these
additional Nurseries. Also the Day Nurseries
Sub-Committee has had in mind the possible
call for another Nursery in the Kenton area.
Since March, 1944, the Carlyon Road Nursery
has been out of action the premises
having been badly damaged by air raid. At
the time of writing (June 1944) the Nursery
is still under repair and arrangements continue
whereby the children assemble at One Tree Hill
Clinic each morning and are dispersed in charge
