Disinfection.
The disinfection of premises, of small articles
of clothing, and of furniture, was, as hitherto, done
without charge by the Sanitary Inspectors. Bedding,
carpets, and large woollen fabrics belonging to the
poor are cleansed and disinfected by Messrs. Armfield
at the cost of the parish.
During the year 174 cwt. was thus disinfected by
that firm, involving an expenditure of £261 2s. 1d.
