During 1936, 5 premises were exempted from the provision of sanitary
conveniences and washing facilities, suitable and easily accessible
accommodation being available; 3 premises were exempted from the
provision of sanitary conveniences only.
SWIMMING BATHS AND POOLS.
The Council has two public swimming baths situated in the centre
of the town. Water was taken from the baths in the busy summer season
and under the most unfavourable conditions and submitted to bacteriological
examination. The analysis showed that the water was satisfactory
for bathing purposes.
An open air swimming bath on the Lordship Recreation Ground
was in course of erection in the latter part of 1936. It is built and
equipped on up-to-date lines and will be opened in June, 1937, and
available to the public after that date.
SCHOOLS.
The water supply to schools is the same as for the rest of the district
—namely from the Metropolitan Water Board's mains. The schools are
maintained in a satisfactory sanitary condition.
