PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
ST. JOHN'S SCHOOLS.
Following the outbreak of Diphtheria at St. John's
Schools in 1928 and the reorganization of the Church
Schools, a special inspection was made at St. John's Schools
in the early part of the year. As the result of this inspection
it was found that the whole of the drainage system was
defective and that reconstruction of the system was imperative.
This work was carried out during the year and in
connection therewith all the sanitary conveniences were
remodelled and modernised and additional conveniences
were provided. In addition to this, extensive works were
carried out, details of which are mentioned in the report
of the School Medical Officer.
ST. PETER'S SCHOOLS.
At this school also the sanitary conveniences were
remodelled and additional ones provided. The drainage
system, as a whole, was not examined and was not involved
in the alterations which were made.
CONCLUSION.
I again desire to thank you, Mr. Chairman, and the
Members of the Public Health Committee and Corporation
generally, for your consideration and support during the
year, and the Officers of other departments who are always
very willing to afford me assistance and information.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
HAROLD T. PERRY, F.S.I.A., M.R.S.I.
