NATIONAL ASSISTANCE ACT, 191*8 - SECTION 47.
The above section of the National Assistance Act, 1948, deals with the
removal to suitable premises of persons in need of care and attention.
I am informed by the Chief Officer of Welfare Services it has not been
found necessary for action to be taken under this section during the years
1953 and 1954.
WATER SUPPLY.
(i) The water supply of the Borough in its several parts has been
satisfactory both in quality and quantity.
(ii) All houses in the area have water services laid on from the
Metropolitan Water Board's mains. No bacteriological or
chemical analyses were made by this Authority on the raw water
going into supply.
(iii) The water supply of this district from the Metropolitan Water
Board does not give rise to plumbo-solvent action.
(iv) There were no contamination areas.

No slaughterhouse was in use in the Borough during the years. Details
of the work carried out in the inspection of premises, stalls and vehicles
used for the storage, preparation and sale of food, including ice-cream, are
