Stable Premises.
There are 36 premises on the register, and these have all been
systematically inspected during the year, strict attention being given
to the provision of efficient receptacles for the storage of manure,
and the prompt and frequent removal of all manure from the
premises in order to minimise the risk of nuisance from flies.
Rats and Mice Destruction Act.
The provisions of this Act have been enforced during the year.
Forty-two complaints were received, and in fourteen instances
"preliminary" intimations have been served upon the owners and
occupiers of premises to eradicate "rodents" and render the
premises rat proof.
School Sanitation.
A sanitary survey of all the school sanitary fittings was made
during the year. The closets at the under-mentioned schools,
which consisted of the latrine, or trough type, were deemed to
be unsatisfactory and to require alteration and amendment. The
Managers of the said schools were all interviewed and recommended
to abolish the existing latrine water closets and to provide
up-to-date pedestal water closets with separate flushing apparatus,
and to re-construct the drains in connection therewith. At two
Schools, viz., St. Luke's and Princes Road, new spray drinking
water fountains were also provided.
