Cleansing of Verminous rooms and their contents.
During the year 1907 a number of verminous rooms with the
bedding and other articles have been cleansed and disinfected in accordance
with the requirements of Sections 19-21 of the London County
Council (General Powers) Act, 1904. I append a table shewing the
number of notices served upon the owners or occupiers of the several
premises in question, and the number of verminous rooms cleansed and
fumigated by the owners, and the Council's disinfecting staff respectively.
I also submit a table shewing the number of verminous articles dealt
with at the Council's disinfecting stations.
