No complaint was received during the year of improper
burials, but complaint was received as to the neglected condition
of one cemetery which was remedied after interview with the
Superintendent.
Rag Flock Act.
There are no premises in the Borough at which Rag Flock
is manufactured. Three shops use a small quantity of material
for upholstering furniture. Upon examination it was found that
much of this stuffing is not Rag Flock. I have taken this matter
up with the National Federation of Bedding and Allied Trades,
Ltd., and hope to be able to report satisfactorily at a later date.
Public Water Closets and Urinals.
There are 11 public conveniences in the Borough under the
supervision of the Cleansing Superintendent of the Borough
Engineer s Department. No complaint has been received during
the year and they have been well maintained in a satisfactory
condition.
There are 34 Public Houses and Beer Houses in the Borough,
the majority of which are well equipped with sanitary conveniences
and with an occasional exception these are also well maintained.
Schools.
There are 26 Elementary Schools and one Secondary School.
All these buildings are comparatively modern, are well lighted,
and have ample latrine and urinal accommodation and a constant
supply of wholesome water from the Metropolitan Water Board's
mains. Most of the schools have a resident caretaker and all
are well maintained and kept in a cleanly condition.
