a08f04a1-df2f-4648-b666-2561051fe557 | (3) An air inlet, even when provided with a mica valve may be a source of danger when it is placed at or about the ground level. 39 Dr. Butler has pointed out some of the objections to the trap, and he states that " probably the most universally objectionable feature of the siphon is that it prevents the efficient vent... |
255701c1-458f-4376-a7c8-efe1f51bfc0e | The other objections to the trap are its liability to obstruction and the difficulty of obtaining conditions under which it is selfcleansing. 1,725 interceptors were examined in Acton between the months of May and November, 1907, and of these 124 were found to be stopped. There were 30 other drains in which the manhole... |
5148475c-9f1e-4e1e-a2f5-d08509337753 | Whatever may have been the original cause, in 225 cases, or 13 per cent, of the drains examined, the interceptor, apart from other defects found, failed in its object, and the sewer air had access to the house drains. The result was that the untrapped opening which had been intended as the inlet ventilator of the house... |
9c6f8479-91ef-4719-8076-ef87a1d0a7f7 | There is no doubt as to the cause of the unstopping of the raking arm in the majority of these 225 cases. The raking arm was unstopped by the pressure of air in the sewer, and the cap falling into the mouth of the intercepting trap, caused an accumulation of sewage in the manhole. There are many types of traps now on t... |
c80c7989-39aa-4982-8e92-92e82be7d90b | In hardly a single instance did we find a self-cleansing 6-inch trap, and it is almost impossible for a 2 gallon or even a 2½ gallon flush to scour a 6 inch trap. Under present conditions, most of the 6 inch intercepting traps are miniature cesspools in the immediate vicinity of a house. They hold over a gallon of deco... |
e707da60-247b-436a-b135-a300d4c2e9e0 | Of these 288 were choked, and in 654 instances the cap of the raking arm had fallen into the inspection chamber. 41 The results cannot be deemed satisfactory. Out of the 1,725 inspected, in 291 there was either an escape of sewer gas into the house drains, or there was an accumulation of sewage in the inspection chambe... |
b63304a5-6bc4-4afc-99a6-88c21d9db2a0 | One could name many premises in Acton which formerly were overrun by rats. The drainage system was overhauled ; the house drains were intercepted from the sewer, and the premises have since been immune from the plague of rats. Under present conditions, it would not be advisable or safe to abolish the trap, but further ... |
d70f0b00-ed78-486a-a1d7-47b14af92cf6 | The cleansing arm and the inspection chamber are accessories to the trap, and are placed there for purposes other than those by means of which the house drains are intercepted from the sewer. Theoretically, all that is necessary is a simple siphon placed at the point of the house drain nearest to the sewer, but owners ... |
42fc0a25-5dba-4fe8-9c57-384bcf87d16b | It was stated in a previous paragraph that most of the 6 inch traps were not self-cleansing. There are very few houses in Acton where a 4 inch trap would not be ample, and if this is properly laid it can be made self-cleansing. Under existing conditions, the best type is that which has a 2 inch or 2½ inch cascade,but o... |
550898f8-ea54-4140-a656-a02abc6db06a | The other objection to a 4 inch trap is the possibility of siphonage. Experimentally, it is quite easy to siphon a 4 inch trap, but in practice this must be a very rare occurrence, and if it did occur, the seal would only be broken until one of the contributory drains is used. Where an inspection chamber is provided, t... |

The Factory Inspector also notifies to th... |
4a1244e8-3060-409e-8c22-08feec51ba89 | This number is 48 less than 1906, but the decrease is only apparent. In the course of inspection, it was found that some of the workshop laundries had been converted into factories, and it will be observed that there are only 230 laundries classed as workshops in 1907, as compared with 288 in 1906. The results of the i... |

An average of 6.2 persons per house is probably below that which obtains at the present time. On the other hand, the percentage of uninhabited houses is higher now than in 1901. At the census of 190... |

b955ec56-e32a-4ff2-a546-b55b960c8bb7 | Usually the number of male children born exceeds the number of female ones, but last year the order was reversed, and there were 785 females and 783 males. The births were distributed amongst the Wards as follows:— Noith-East 363 North-West 215 South-East 338 South-West 662 As usual the North-West Ward showed the lowes... |

a472a650-15bf-4d20-962d-8c663a976dc9 | Females live longer than males, and a district containing a preponderance of women would show a lower death-rate other things being equal. But the most important factor is the age-constitution of a population. The tendency to death is greatest among persons living at the extremes of life, among infants and old people. ... |

5f61db8d-19d9-4ea9-b8d2-dd49789cd575 | The increase in the number of deaths in children between the ages of 1 and 5 years was mostly due to the out-break of Measles which occurred in the Spring. 7 There was a most marked drop in the number of deaths from Pneumonia and Heart Disease.

2a099897-1c81-4322-a8c5-3af8cf46254e | It was pointed out in last year's report that some of the causes of the enhanced death-rate are not entirely dependent upon sanitary conditions. The birth rate in the South-West Ward is much higher than in the rest of the district, and the Ward therefore contains an abnormal percentage of persons peculiarly sensitive t... |

8bc4679a-dda8-4688-af34-ad56ee94d84c | We have to face two problems, the prevention and control of epidemics, and the reduction of the fatality of the disease. The latler is to some extent dependent on the former, for after a certain period, the older the child, the less susceptible he is to the disease, and even if the disease be contracted, children over ... |
f118033a-7268-4ee6-ab5f-d86ef21a9918 | From this different incidence of attack anddeath it resultst hat the fatality from Measles is very much higher in the second year of life than in any of those succceding years. While, therefore, more children die of Measles in the second year of life than at any other age, more children are attacked by this disease in ... |
f04786bb-462e-4dc0-b1ac-0dcaaada387d | If the inter-epidemic period could be lengthened, not only some children would have reached an age when they would be less 11 susceptible to an attack, but a larger number of children will, when the epidemic arrives, have reached ages at which the disease is little fatal. It is generally conceded that the attendance of... |
1973a35c-1786-4335-b04d-55c88e351d64 | In the hope of obtaining information of the earliest cases (as well as for other reasons), the compulsory notification of Measles has been tried in several towns. In the Annual Report for 1906, the experience of Aberdeen and Burton-on-Trent was given. In both these towns compulsory notification was tried, and in neithe... |
1d5e8406-129d-4f7b-8ff9-42ec2df8060b | If compulsory notification were adopted, it would take many years before any considerable number of those unattended by a doctor would be notified.

63b2a3ea-d1cb-48b0-9d18-4cee86f5a49c | Unfortunately, the closure of a single class is more serious financially than the closure of the whole department, and the occurrence of a single case does not justify the latter course. It may be of interest to record the result of closing a school on the occurrence of a single case. A case of Measles, N.S. was notifi... |

In the poorer districts, it ts well known that an epidemic of Measles is more serious and more fatal if it occurs in the winter months than it is in the summer. A large number of the deaths are due to lung... |
