The Borough is supplied with water by the Metropolitan Water Board. The whole of the population is supplied from the public water mains direct to each house and the supply has been satisfactory. In addition to the public supply, there are three deep wells in the district, two at factory premises, and one at the Public Baths. Samples of water from these wells have been taken from time to time and on submission to bacteriological and chemical examinations have proved satisfactory.
ff99c391-37c2-4fb1-bf89-a8564b6af99a
Drainage and Sewerage. All the dwelling houses are provided with water closets and are connected to the sewerage system which discharges, by an arrangement with the L.C.C. into the London sewers. Stormwater is filtered and emptied into the Thames. Public Cleansing. The amount of house refuse collected by the Council in 1948 was 16,437 tons and trade refuse collected amounted to 1,289 tons. A total weight of 15,297 tons was destroyed by the destructor and 4,748 tons was removed to controlled shoots. In addition to the foregoing, 2,319 tons of Salvage was sold. Rodent Control. Work of rat and mice disinfestation is so maintained with the co-operation of owners and occupiers of premises within the Borough that there has been no complaint of serious infestation.
7134ab48-2141-4991-9d2c-13c69629eded
In addition to the application of various methods of baiting, trapping, etc., on the surface, treatment of sewers has reduced the rat population, while the sealing off of old drains damaged by enemy action has prevented the easy passage of rats from sewer to surface or vice versa. 27 Complaints as to the presence of rats in dwelling houses were all investigated and generally, property or areas contiguous to premises, referred to have all been examined for signs of infestation, and complete treatment carried out where Necessary. Many business premises also continue to receive frequent attention of the Council's Rodent Operatives whose is largely by way of precautionary measures, in addition to the work of destruction of vermin. The work at business premises is carried out with the good will and co-operation of the occupiers who have met the Council charges for the work in all cases.

Investigation, ruction and maintenance have entailed a total of 2,312 Visits by the rodent operatives, 1,762 to business premises and 550 dwellings, in addition to inspections by the Sanitary InsPectors as needed elsewhere. Inspection of Factories. There are 688 premises within the borough in connection with which the Sanitary Inspectors make inspection from time to time to ascertain, that the provisions of the Factories Act, 1937, and the Sanitary Accommodation Regulations are Complied with. etc. addition -to this routine work, hygiene of canteens, has received attention, and advice a-s to the fitness of for human consumption given as necessary.

Two premises comprising four underground rooms were closed in accordance with Section 12 of the Housing Act, 1936, it being considered impossible to carry out work to make the rooms comply with the Council's regulations as to underground rooms. Details of Work carried out. The continued need for maintenance of every possible dwelling house, flat or tenement in a tenantable state of repair has led to the adoption of procedure in accordance with Section 9 of the Housing Act, 1936, in every case of complaint in respect of a dwelling. Where perhaps a single sanitary defect has been complained of, all repairs necessary to bring the house up to the standard of Ministry of Health Manual on Unfit Houses have been required of the Owners in every case, and it may be said that owners generally have been co-operative.
3c3104d8-a071-437f-90e8-539aaf6730d3
During the year, 94 Housing Act Notices were passed to the Town Clerk in default of the owners, whose final interest may be indicated by the fact lhat while all Notices were complied with, approximately 75% were completed by the owners' builders before the Borough Engineer found it necessary to instruct the Council's Contractors to proceed with the work in default. 29 The following table indicates the extensive and varied nature of the defects and dilapidations which have been made good following inspection by the Sanitary Inspectors.

There was a further reduction in the amount of food condemned in the Borough on account of unfitness for human consumption. This material was disposed of in accordance 31 with arrangements come to with the Ministry of Food (Salvage Division). It included 16,734 containers, i.e.
dd81f939-4198-4945-8293-e45cc122256d
tins, jars, packetsβ€”of fish, fruit, meat, vegetables, etc. The continued need for the conservation of all meat products necessitates the special attention of the Sanitary Inspectors to inferior meat and meat productsβ€”fresh or canned, which are sent into the Borough by the Ministry of Food for special treatment locally, the policy being to save the utmost food consistent with the retention only of sound food material. Though the great majority of unsound food is dealt with as material voluntarily surrendered by the owners, there were 35 complaints during the year of food sold in a condition which rendered it unfit for human consumption. In every case the food factory or warehouse or shop premises involved, when situated within the Borough, was inspected and the methods of production, transport and storage observed. Where the sale or production originated outside the Borough, appropriate communications were established.

In one case, that of the sale of soya flour contaminated with mice droppings, the vendors were prosecuted and fines were imposed by the local Magistrates, and costs awarded to the Council. Milk. The pasteurising plant at 100 Bollo Lane has continued processing to full capacity by the High Temperature Short Time method with an absence of failure in Meth. Blue or Phosphatase tests. The empty bottles taken from the bottle filling lines were examined, and in all but two cases, were found to be sterile. In the cases of failure, steps were immediately taken to check up the conditions under which bottle cleansing was effected, and repetition of sampling indicated that the cause of the trouble had been located and dealt with effectively. Indeed these results reflect the high efficiency of the bottle washing plant and operation at the premises. This Dairy and the other eleven such premises subject to frequent inspection have been maintained in a hygienic condition, and there has been no complaint as to premises or products.
bedca630-e9a2-4246-91b1-3c9e5264d6a3
Of 149 samples of milk taken during the year, only 5 and 3 respectively failed in the Meth. Blue and Phosphatase tests. 32 Water. Samples of water numbering 31 taken from various sources in the Borough were submitted to bacteriological examination, and all results indicated satisfactory supply. Ice Cream. In the course of the year the number of Ice-Cream manufacturers processing completely in accordance with the IceCream (Heat Treatment) Regulations was increased to eight. Three persons signified their intention to continue as manufacturers but by the adoption of the " cold mix" process. However, sampling has revealed that pasteurising, homogenizing and expeditious cooling by the use of an approved cooler, coupled with clean conditions in the factory, both as regards premises, apparatus and personnel are the sure way to the production of a bacteria free Ice-Cream. The total number of samples of Ice-Cream taken throughout the year was 32. Restrictions on dealing in Old Clothes.
7b9dfb16-0889-48ed-97e9-906dcc2993fa
Under Section 154 of the Public Health Act, 1936, it is an offence for a person to distribute articles to persons under the age of 14 years in exchange for old clothes, etc. In the course of the year one person was observed to be engaging in this unlawful practice by distributing books and toys to children under the age of 14 years in exchange for old clothes. He was prosecuted and fined, costs being awarded to the Council by the local Magistrates. Rag Flock Act. The two samples of rag flock taken away proved to be unsatisfactoryβ€”due to improper storage conditions at the factory, and the occupier of the factory, being advised as to the proper method of storage of the material, improvement was effected accordingly. Diseases of Animals. The Borough remained free from Notifiable Diseases of Animals throughout the year, with the exception of Fowl Pest.
43bb4032-9a00-4ac2-9827-22319a483a4b
33 At two premises chickens were proved to be affected, and prescribed precautions being taken there was no spread of the disease. Slaughterhouses. The Slaughterhouses in Atlas Road and Hanbury Road have been in commission throughout the year, and the carcase and offal of every animal slaughtered have been examined as their fitness for human, food. The demand for horseflesh for human food is sustained, there being a further increase in the number of horses slaughtered during the year as compared with 1947. The incidence of Tuberculosis in Pigs is a little higher than in previous years as will be noted from the figures below.

& C. W. DENTAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1948. In common with other areas we have found the introduction the National Health Service to have an tedly adverse affect on the School Dental Services. Apart from the increased difficulty of obtaining suitable Dental Officers (we were again reduced to one in November) those few patients who in the past have said they would obtain treatment by private dentists, cannot get appointments without a long wait, if at allβ€”even for emergency 42 treatment. This, however, does not prevent their expecting immediate treatment at the Clinic, and most of these are the ones who have used "Private Treatment" merely as an excuse for having no treatment at all. The acceptance rate for the School Children was 87%, for Mothers 74% and Infants 87%.
ba015ab5-c304-4c07-a873-c1dacc887a0e
The above percentages show refusals of 13%, 26% and 13% respectively, but these include, and in fact are chiefly made up of those who accept treatment on their consent forms and then fail to keep the appointments given them. As at least two appointments are given to each, the acceptance rate in terms of appointments which have to be provided for all these groups is over 95%. 104 cases were referred to the orthodontic clinic during the year and 31 to the Specialist Dental Officer.

ACT S2 BROUGH OF ACTON annual report OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH TOGETHER WITH THE Report on the medical inspection of schools for the Year 1949 ANNUAL REPORT of the MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH FOR THE YEAR 1940. Public Health Department, Town Hall, Acton, W.3. To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough of Acton. Ladies and Gentlemen, I submit the Annual Report of the health of the Borough of Acton for the year 1949. Under the Sanitaiy Officers Order of 1935 the duty is laid upon the Medical Officer of Health of familiarising himself with matters Meeting the health of the borough. Such information in the years Previous to 1948 was obtained in the course of one's duty ; now, as a part-time Area Medical Officer to the County, of Middlesex the inforination is still forthcoming.
1ece8eee-e281-41cd-b52d-49908256d3e3
I feel that such information as has been submitted in previous years should still be given, and I am continuing to give some statistics of the work covering Maternity and Child Welfare, and School Health Service in the report. 4 The Registrar General estimates the population as, Civilian 67,690, and total as 67,740. The total figure 67,740 includes persons normally resident in Acton who are in the Military Services, and for statistical purposes I have based my calculations upon the civilian figure alone. A comparability factor has also been given for Acton and this factor is used to calculate the Corrected Death Rate. Until 1939 the population had for many years shown small change but there has been a change in the proportion of the constituent members of the population.
1e10b568-111d-4d21-b81d-0c6eae6ff7d3
During the period 1939 to 1945 a large number of persons came from Eire to work in this Borough and have remained; also there is an obvious settlement taking place of persons from Europe, and quite a number of persons of Polish nationality are establishing themselves, obtaining employment either here or outside this area. The Crude Death Rate is 10.8 and the Corrected Death Rate is 10.9, as compared with 9.4 for 1948. The Birth Rate is 15.4 as compared with 16.7 per 1,000 of the Civilian Population for 1948. Infantile Mortality Rate is 23.04 as compared with 24.4 in 1948, and for England & Wales is 32; County Boroughs and large towns (including London) is 37.0 There is no record of any child under the age of 2 years having succumbed to Gastro-Enteritis,.

Infectious Diseases and other matters of interest I have dealt with in the body of the report. During, 1948 a scheme was designed to come into force in January 1949 for the Borough to be re-organised into 8 wards. Each ward elected three Councillors to serve on the Council and an Alderman was to represent each ward. The statistics are based on the new ward boundaries. 5 STAFF George E. B.
