appear to be using the wharves at Kingston, very few of
them are used for sleeping and living purposes, or are
subject to inspection under the Canal Boats Acts.
The working stages are short, and the crews live ashore
instead of on board.
SANITARY CONVENIENCES.
The conveniences attached to licensed houses in this
Borough compare very favourably with similar places in all
other towns I have visited. Practically all the premises now
have glazed stalls or slabs, and the minimum of labour is
required to keep the conveniences in clean condition. Comparatively
few of the licensees have failed to keep the
premises in order.
New sanitary conveniences were constructed in connection
with the following premises :—
"Two Brewers" P.H.—Wood Street.
"Albert" Hotel—Kingston Hill.
"Three Fishes" P.H.—Richmond Road.
"Swan" P.H.—Mill Street.
"Dolphin" P.H.—Clarence Street.
"Railway" Hotel—Coombe Road.
RAG FLOCK ACTS, 1911 AND 1928.
There are at least two, and probably several more,
premises on which Rag Flock is used in the making of
upholstery, cushions and bedding, but no opportunity
occurred during 1930 for the taking of samples. This is
a branch of the work which will be given more attention
in the near future.
PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
ST. PAUL'S SCHOOL, BOROUGH ROAD.
The Managers of St. Paul's School decided to make
an improvement in the sanitary accommodation of the school
by re-arranging the lay-out of the buildings, providing additional
modern ranitary fittings a d replacing all old fittings.
