A report upon the sanitary conveniences is usually supplied
to the Licensing Bench annually, and the very satisfactory
conditions which now exist are due in no small
measure to the support and co-operation afforded by the
Bench to your Council.
RAG FLOCK ACTS 1911 AND 1928.
An enquiry was made during the past year to ascertain
upon how many premises Rag Flock is used in the making
of upholstery, bedding and cushions. Although a considerable
amount of this work is done in the district, in no
instance was Rag Flock discovered in use. The materials
used, such as Kapoc, etc., do not come within the definition
of Rag Flock. It was not necessary, therefore, to
take any samples.
PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
St. Paul's School, Borough Road.
The work of reconstructing the soil drains, which was
commenced during the Christmas vacation, 1930, was completed
during the month of January, 1931. In connection
with this work, the whole of the sanitary conveniences were
modernised and a great improvement was effected thereby.
Richmond Road Schools.
In accordance with the instructions of your Committee,
the drainage system of the schools was examined
and a report was duly submitted. The works required
were too extensive to be carried out whilst the schools were
in use, and it is intended to deal with the drains during
the summer vacation of this year.
