of the departmental records with regard to these premises. This
revision is still proceeding, and it is hoped to furnish a full report
next year. It has been found impracticable to furnish a statement
as to the number of inspections and other work in connection
with these premises.
SCHOOLS.
In this district there are 13 public elementary schools, of
which 3 are modern the remainder being for the most part old
and lacking in good sanitary conditions.
As a result of the occurrence of several cases of Diphtheria
at the Isleworth Blue Girls' School, a complete inspection of the
premises was made and reported to the Health Committee. The
report was forwarded to the Education Committee, but little or
nothing has been done to correct the unsatisfactory state of things
found to exist.
It is hoped to examine the schools in detail and submit
particulars in the next annual report.
FOOD.
During the war, the inspection of food premises had necessarily
to be seriously curtailed, owing to the shortage of staff. In the
course of the year under report, a beginning has been made towards
the more regular inspection of these places, and the bringing
up-to-date of the departmental records with regard to them. As,
however, the staff has not yet been brought up to its pre-war level
it has not yet been possible to complete these records, and it is
therefore impossible to present a complete report for 1919 It is
hoped that full particulars will be available for the report in respect
of 1920.
Milk.
No material change has been observed during the past year
in the conditions under which cow-keeping and milk vending are
carried on in the district.
