Offices; the Sun Street Mortuary; 18, Barge House Road, North
Woolwich; and the Eltham Office, 112, High Street. The cost of
the disinfectants used by the Department in 1906 was £25 15s.
The disinfectants used were Jeyes' Soap, Corrosive Sublimate,
Formalin Tablets (for fumigation); Formaldehyde (for spraying
and disinfecting books); Cyllin (for sputa in phthisis); Permanganate
of Potash; coarse Carbolic (for dust-pails), and
Chloride of Lime (for offal-tins, etc).
Public Conferences.
You appointed me your representative at the Congress of the
Royal Sanitary Institute at Bristol; the Conference on Infantile
Mortality, in London (with Councillor Hall), and the Conference
on Milk Warranties (with the Town Clerk and Chief Inspector).
Full reports on these were presented at the time.

Town Hall, too, is much nearer to Eltham than the Maxey Road
Offices. Accordingly, it was arranged that the Eltham Inspector
should use the same office as the other Inspectors, but for complaints,
and issue of disinfectants, arrangements were made with
the occupier of 112, High Street, Eltham, to take messages, give
out disinfectants, and provide a room for the Inspector to call at
daily and see visitors by appointment.

District Inspector, but to re-arrange the districts (see page 3) and
