met by the doctor in attendance giving the necessary certificate.

by the mothers.
Food Poisoning.
Two notifications were received regarding food poisoning.

Chemical tests for chlorine content of Swimming Pool
water made by inspectors, 44.
The practice of fortnightly sampling of the public water
supplies was continued throughout the year, and the results passed
to the respective Water Companies, while also the Water Companies
submitted periodically their results. The water supply
remained bacteriologically satisfactory and sufficient in quantity,
although there was call for economy from time to time, a call
which in the circumstances was readily understood, and which
was due also in part to the persistently low rainfall.
There is no inhabited premises known to be without an
internal water supply.

(G) DAY NURSERIES.
Carlyon Road Day Nursery was slightly damaged by enemy
action on the night of Friday-Saturday, Jan. 21st-22nd. The
nursery, however, was reoccupied as usual on the following Monday
morning. On the night of the lst-2nd March the nursery was
again struck, rebuilding entirely being necessary. Arrangements
were made for the children to assemble at One Tree Hill Clinic
each morning, where they were dispersed, in charge of nurses,
by Civil Defence ambulances to the other Wembley nurseries, the
children being brought back to One Tree Hill Clinic each evening
in time for the mothers to call for them. This arrangement continued
until 4th September.
Harrowdene Road Nursery suffered damage in the early hours
of 21st July, but the nursery was open again for the reception
of children on the following morning. Woodstock Road Nursery
was damaged on 16th July, but the nursery was made ready
to receive children the next morning.
