the congestion in the waiting room is relieved, and the

SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES.
(i) Water.
The Water Supply of the town is furnished by the
Metropolitan Water Board.
There are still some shallow wells, and the policy is
to adviseowners to have their property connected to the
Main Supply of the Metropolitan Water Board.
The use of well water was discontinued at 3 houses
during the year.
The number of premises known to be supplied with
water from wells at the end of 1936 was 31, which compares
with 271 for 1919.
Samples were chemically examined by Mr. P. G. Lloyd
during the year.
Suspicious waters are sent to the Clinical Research
Association for bacteriological examination.
(ii) Drainage and Sewerage.
The programme for the construction of manholes on
the existing sewerage system has been continued, and approximately
£750 has been spent this year for the purpose.
New Soil and Surface Water Sewers have been provided
on the Park View Estate.
