MORTUARY.
The mortuary situate in Alpha Road is well
equipped and maintained. During the year fortytwo
bodies have been received, thirty-seven post
mortems carried out, and forty inquests held.
The use of the Mortuary has been more than
double that in 1934-
GENERAL.
During the year 82 houses were completed in
Addison Gardens and Lower Marsh Lane to re-house
persons displaced from Clearance Areas and other
unfit dwellings. Sixty have now been occupied and
the tenants express great appreciation of the design
and convenience of their new homes.
A most successful Health Week and Exhibition
was held in the Assembly Rooms in October and
was opened by Sir Edward T. Campbell, M.P., J.P.,
Private Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of
Health.
The lectures, dancing, cookery and other displays,
talks, films, games, addresses and other
demonstrations were well attended by the public,
and daily parties of school children were conducted
round the exhibition and given educational talks by
the Sanitary Inspectors.
An official Health Week Magazine was compiled
giving details of the exhibition and containing
articles by Councillors, Officials and well known experts.
A copy was delivered to each house in the
district and a few copies are still available at my
office-
