Scavenging.
The house refuse is collected at least once weekly, but in most
districts a bi-weekly collection is maintained. The refuse is taken
to the destructor at Barnes and there destroyed by burning.
Recently the destructor has been much improved and consequently
the plant is able to deal more efficiently with larger quantities of
refuse.
Schools.
The premises of all schools, elementary and secondary, are
regularly inspected.
The Medical Officer of Health is also School Medical Officer,
so that there is no difficulty in dealing with matters relating to the
health of the scholars, nor in dealing with infectious disease. No
schools were closed during the year.
