DISINFECTANT DEPOTS.
For the convenience of the inhabitants there are three depots
for the distribution of disinfectants situated in convenient
positions and open daily from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
From these stations during the period under consideration
37 tons of powder and 2,500 gallons of disinfecting fluid were distributed
to persons applying for it with an order from the
Department.
SCHOOLS.
The Sanitary arrangements of both the Public and Private
Schools have been regularly inspected, and were usually found to
be in a satisfactory condition.
The refuse is collected weekly by the Council's staff.
TEMPORARY BUILDINGS.
The Sanitary Inspectors in visiting the rear of premises have
opportunities of observing Temporary Buildings erected contrary
to the Council's Bye-laws, and in cases where they do not constitute
a sanitary nuisance capable of being dealt with by the
Public Health Department, it is the practice to report them to
the Surveyor for his attention.
(Signed),
Joseph G. Banks, A.R. San. I.,
Chief Sanitary Inspector,
