REGISTRATION OF HAIRDRESSERS.
During the year the Borough Council made Byelaws which came into
force on the 1st October 1955. The Chief Sanitary Inspector and his
Deputy made inspections of the 46 registered hairdressing establishments
in the Borough. Advice was given on the conditions and standards of
hygiene required by the Byelaws, and in certain cases where deficiencies
were observed intimation of the defects was given to the occupiers.
Generally speaking the standard of cleanliness observed in the hairdressing
establishments in the Borough is good.
WATER SUPPLY.
The water supply of the Borough is controlled by the Metropolitan
Water Board and is relayed from public mains direct to houses. No
complaint regarding the quality of the water was received during the year.
SWIMMING BATH WATER.
There are two Swimming baths in the Borough, one of which is open all
the year round, the other during the summer months only. During the year
fifteen samples of water from the baths were sent for bacteriological
examination and fifteen for analytical examination, and all were found
to be satisfactory.
EXAMINATION OF WATER FROM WELLS.
Three wells were in use in Shoreditch during the year, none being
used for drinking or domestic purposes.
