rooms are disinfected on request. A charge is made in such
cases sufficient to cover the cost of the work. This arrangement
is much appreciated by the public.
The Council also possess a motor-ambulance, which is
constructed for the dual purpose of removing patients to
hospital and for the conveying; of bedding, etc., to and from
the disinfection station.
Seven patients were conveyed in this ambulance last
year.
Factories, Workshops and Workplaces.
Thirty-six visits were made to Factories and Workshops,
etc. Other details with respect to these premises are
contained in Tables on pages 27 and 28.
There are 15 "Outworkers" resident in the Borough,
and the premises so used were inspected periodically.
Stables and Yards.
The campaign against the absence or defective condition
of manure receptacles in stables and yards was maintained
during 1926.
This work is important, as there can be no doubt that
a very definite relationship exists between the breeding of
flies and improper storage of manure.
Sanitary Condition of Music Halls,
Cinemas, &c.
Twenty inspections were made of the above premises
during the year, in accordance with the suggestion contained
in the Circular Letter from the Ministry of Health.
Visits were made to the Cinemas during performances in
connection with the ventilation of the premises.
The premises generally are satisfactory. Suggestions
made to the Managers with respect to the sanitary condition
of the premises are invariably well received and acted
upon.
