tion and report upon the sanitary state of the premises. This practice
has been attended by the best results, and during the year under consideration
has been extended to the other portions of the Borough.
DISINFECTION.
The Borough is provided with two disinfecting stations containing
in each case one of Manlove, Alliott & Co.'s Washington-Lyon apparatus.
In the disinfection of rooms we endeavour in all cases of notifiable
infectious disease, other than Erysipelas, to strip the walls of all paper,
and to spray the interior by means of a garden syringe with a solution of
Formalin. After this has been done, the room is placed under sulphur
fumigation for at least eight hours before it is allowed to be reoccupied.
During the year 2,184 rooms have been disinfected after the
occurrence of Infectious Diseases.
