Skin Diseases.βMost skin diseases fall within the group of Minor Ailments, the following being under treatment during the year:β 19 Ringworm. Scabies. Impetigo. Other Skin Diseases. Minor injuries.

For parents who consent to X-ray treatment this is carried out by Dr. Kennedy. As previously, the cleansing station proved a valuable adjunct in the treatment of Scabies, 14 cases being dealt with during the year. Dental Defects.βStatistics dealing with the year's work will be found under Table IV, Group IV, of the Appendix, while the Dental Surgeon's Report appears separately on pages 32 and 33.

Ultra violet light forms part of the routine treatment for many conditions of and under school age, 13 of the former and 25 of the latter being so treated during the year.

(Π°) Playground Classes.βAll schools including the Openair School have playground classes during the summer months when weather is suitable. Drill is also taken in the open when weather permits. (Π±) School Journeys.βNo school journeys were undertaken, although several visits were paid to places of educational interest. |
02312448-a345-4eb9-aa68-59371e34a3e5 | (c) School Camps.βNo school camps were held, but four holiday camps were held as in previous years at Hainault for necessitous children where short holidays of two weeks were followed by improvement in general health and physique. The children were medically examined by the staff prior to going to camp. (d) Open-air Class-rooms in Public Elementary Schools.β Apart from the class-rooms of the Special School which belong to the type of open-air rooms, none of the elementary schools of the district possess open-air class-rooms. To some extent this difficult}' is provided against in the classes of the Park Central School now in process of erection. (e) The. Authority possesses an Open-air School at Faircross, situated centrally and upon probably what is the highest ground of the district. During the year 186 children were on the register, 55 were admitted, and 95 sufficiently improved to permit of their return to ordinary elementary school. |
b8f1956b-8598-4a1e-a6b5-62a7cdf91040 | The school combines separate departments for delicate children and mentally and physically defectives, such cases being found from routine and 22 special inspections at school, besides those referred from the inspection clinic and tuberculosis dispensary. The general routine of the school was described in my Report for 1924. The benefit derived here is marked but slower than at a residential open air school, probably on account of the intervening home environment. (/) Residential Open-air Schools.βThe Authority possesses no residential open-air schools. (10) PHYSICAL TRAINING. Since the resignation of Mr. Hoare, in 1924, no area organiser of physical training has yet been appointed. Physical training, which forms an important item in the child's school life is but at present represented in exercises on the Swedish drill principle which are given by teachers, no other satisfactory means existing for dealing with the minor postural defects met with during school life and remediable by simple appropriate exercises by a competent instructor. (11) PROVISION OF MEALS. |
b5329a72-3913-45f6-84a4-e869b114c458 | Extra feeding in the form of milk, cocoa, cod liver oil, etc., is supplied to children attending the open-air classes of the Special School throughout the year, while all children at this school receive a hot mid-day meal. Under the provisions of the Meals Act, 1906-14, the of necessitous school children was continued as heretofore at the Municipal Restaurant. Dinners and breakfasts were provided a cost of 5d. and 2Β£d. each respectively. During the year 36,531 dinners and 52 breakfasts were supplied to 797 children, suitable cases being selected by the medical officers, school teachers, nurses and attendance officers. The menus in use are from time to time submitted for the approval of the School Medical Officer, and the various arrangements continue suitable and adequate for the purpose. 23 (12) SCHOOL BATHS. With the exception of the Special School which is provided with spray baths, no baths exist in any of the other schools. |
f46264c2-251c-406b-897d-e6835277700b | In connection with verminous conditions and scabies, baths and disinfestation are provided at the cleansing station Public swimming baths in East Street, belonging to the Council, are available for children attending the elementary schools on certain week-days during part of the year, when swimming instruction is given. (13), (14), (15) & (16). CO-OPERATION OF PARENTS, TEACHERS, SCHOOL ATTENDANCE OFFICERS, AND VOLUNTARY BODIES. The attendance of parents at the medical inspections throughout the year was 60.7 per cent., compared with 65.5 per cent. in 1925. The teachers take a kindly interest in the work of medical inspections in spite of the educational interruption in the course of duties, and their help is most valuable, while communication and mutual assistance are constant between the medical staff and the school attendance department. |
443d95ea-68ec-4b87-a676-2c9637690826 | A large percentage of persons now realise that the School Medical Service is not in the position of a censor but rather that of a mentor, ready to help them in their difficulties as regards the health and welfare of their children. The number of parents actually refusing medical examination during the year was 29. The following is a brief resume of the work dene by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children in the district during the year:β Total number of cases investigated 7 (a) neglect 5 (b) ill-treatment 2 (c) proceedings instituted β 24 There are no Children's Care Committees, the additional duties which are usually carried out by such voluntary bodies, being carried out as far as possible by appropriate Sub-Committees, of the Education Authority. An After-care Committee has been formed in connection with children attending the special school. (17) BLIND, DEAF, DEFECTIVE AND EPILEPTIC CHILDREN. |
54881344-dcd0-4934-ab70-8500ed5ce243 | (a) Children subjects of the above defects are ascertained through routine medical inspection or in more severe cases necessitating school absence through the activities of attendance officers, the information so acquired being passed to the school medical officer, when any subsequent arrangements necessarv for the child's disposal are made. Arrangements exist whereby exceptional children may, if necessary, attend non-residential certified schools or classes outside the district, and 7 deaf and dumb children so attended at Frederick Road Centre, Custom House, during the year. The number of blind and deaf children maintained at residential institutions during the year was 3. The number of blind and deaf children in this district is insufficient to justify the provision of special classes for these defects locally. The number of known epileptics of all grades is 18. Unless the defect is of quite a minor character (when the child may attend an ordinary elementary school), epileptic children can only satisfactorily educated in special residential schools or colonics. |
48588c51-9723-448c-8d27-a570de783faa | Where epilepsy is combined with mental defect, the disposal of such cases is difficult, since few institutions throughout the country are prepared to receive them. One epileptic child was examined during the year. The child also suffered from spastic hemiplegin of the left leg and was recommended as unsuitable for any school The question of mentally sub-normal and mentally and physically defective children was considered at length in my Report for 1924. 25 During the year, suspected mentally sub-normal and backward children were referred from various elementary schools to a temporary class at the Special School, and subsequently after a few months' observation submitted for more detailed examination by the School Medical Officer. During the year 19 such children came before the School Medical Officer, out of which number, and including those whose period of observation expired during the year, 7 were certified mentally deficient, and arrangements made for their admission to the special class for such children. |
4458cda2-9f5f-4fd6-9a3b-f6e4006c0353 | Mentalfy defective Children.β11 children were examined as to their mental condition during the year, all of whom were certified educable and arrangements made for their admission to the special class. During the year one child attending the Special School was notified to the Local Control Authority as having attained the age of 16 years, while 2 cases left school on attaining the age of 16 years. The number of physically defective children in attendance at the. cripple class was 42; 7 cases left the class on attaining the age of 16 years. The School Medical Officer examined and certified 20 cases suitable for admission to the cripple class, in addition to one case unsuitable for any school. (b) There are no educable mentally defective children in the district for whom the Education Authority is responsible and who are not either at the Special School or in residential institutions. Ineducable mentally defective children of school age come within the responsibility of the Essex County Council. |
a4ac043f-2e1e-4ad9-8afe-e08280f9ed7d | (c) The question of the after-care of mentally defective children, i.e., after attaining the age of 16 years becomes the statutoryduty of the Local Control Authority, and is carried out by the Essex County Council who arrange for guardianship or institutional care in necessary cases. 26 Though no provision had up to the present been made for the after-care of blind or deaf children or cripples, an after-care Committee has recently been formed for that purpose. (18) NURSERY SCHOOLS. There are no nursery schools in the district. (19) SECONDARY SCHOOLS. The only secondary school in the district is the Abbey School, which comes under the Essex County Council. Arrangements exist whereby routine inspection is carried out by the School Medical Officer of the district. No arrangement exists with this authority either for "following up" or treatment of necessary cases. Details of inspections carried out are supplied from the following table:β Entrants.

Milk and newspaper deliveries, general errands, hawking and newspaper selling are the usual forms of employment of children and young persons. |
26041dfc-2e10-4bf0-bcb8-a96b885954b3 | In accordance with the Bye-laws of the Education Authority, 8 applicants of school age submitted themselves for examination prior to employment, of which number it was unnecessary to refuse any applicant on medical grounds. Street trading is permissible to boys of 15 years, although licence is refused girls under 16 years, no prior medical examinations being required of applicants. Certain conditions, however, such as mental defect, prevent street trading being engaged in. Legal proceedings during the year were instituted in one case for infringement of Bye-laws in respect of the employment of children, and in no case in respect of the employment of young jiersons in street trading. (22) SPECIAL ENQUIRIES. During the 3rd term a survey of school children was made to elicit the presence of rheumatism or its complications in children of various age groups, the report subsequently submitted being printed as an appendix to this report. (23) MISCELLANEOUS. |

Orthopaedic Clinic, Faircross School, Barking. Essex. March, 1927. To the School Medical Officer. The year 1926 has shown a very definite increase in the amount of work undertaken by the Orthopaedic Clinic as will be seen on reference to the accompanying tables, and as a consequence it has been found necessary to double the number of attendances of Miss A. E. Findlay, the Orthopaedic Masseuse. The Ultra-Violet Lamp has now been installed, and is being used in the treatment of Rickets, Tuberculosis and other suitable cases, and the results are being investigated. |
3c4963c5-2bc5-4f0a-9a10-150bf8f86295 | It will now be possible to secure earlier admission to hospital, owing to the increase in the number of beds at my disposal since appointment as Honorary Surgeon to the Cheyne Hospital for Children, Chelsea. This institution is recognised by the Board of Education and the Ministry of Health as affording facilities for the combined treatment and education of cripples. Beds arc also still available at Brookfield Orthopaedic Hospital, and the Queen's Hospital for Children, Hackney Road. At the latter, I can obtain the expert opinion of Dr. Tindal Atkinson, Radiologist to the Hospital. Earlier ascertainment of crippling disorders is now made possible owing to the active co-operation of the medical officers in charge of the Infant Welfare Centres, and a number of local medical practitioners. Further advances are being made along the lines of the training and employment of the cripples, so that they may become self-supporting citizens. |
3c327a55-dd69-4a8d-b913-d4d921c0ad8f | It is therefore humbly put forward that the Orthopaedic Clinic might now serve as an example which any public or voluntary body in Essex or elsewhere might see fit to copy. 29 Thirty school children and seventeen children under school age were examined by me for the first time during the year, my findings being as follows:β SCHOOL CHILDREN. |

To the School Medical Officer. I beg to present my report for the year ended December 31st. 1926. The progress of dental treatment at the Municipal Clinic is extremely encouraging. From the total of 7,550 children examined in the nine schools in the area 3,736 were found to require treatment. This represents a percentage of 49.48, a decrease of 20 per cent. defective on the number in 1925. The number of parents accepting treatment for their children has increased considerably, and the percentage of children actually treated during the years 1924, 1925 and 1926, being 38.69 per cent., 52.36 per cent. |
8628bd6d-a29a-44af-9dab-31af89303da6 | and 63.3 per cent. respectively. This amply justifies the reorganising of the Clinic on a whole-time basis in that, since its institution, the percentage of parents refusing Clinic treatment has been nearly halved. There are still, however, only too many parents, as in all areas, not sufficiently enlightened to realise that it is as much a disgrace to allow a child to continue with a dirty mouth as with a verminous head. A disquieting feature of school inspection is the number of entrants found with defective teethβof 842 inspected children of 4 and 5, no less than 361 or 42.87 were found to require treatment. This, in my opinion, may be accounted for to a great extent by artificial feeding in infancy and faulty diet subsequently. Artificial feeding only too often results in malformation of the soft bone of the jaws with consequent misplacement of teeth on their eruption leading to food lodgement and decay. |
b208ae78-524f-4027-9383-9db6d4db356e | With regard to diet in childhood a noticeable feature of the inspection is the extraordinary number of "mottled teeth" found in the area. This is thought by many authorities to be due to lack of lime salts in the local water supply, and this, in conjunction with neglect of fresh fruit and vegetables and milk in diet, results in faulty formation of the enamel covering the teeth thus rendering them more easily attacked by decay. The present cramped and none too clean clinic premises naturally form a deterrent to the attendance of patients and are distinctly discouraging to the staff. 33 The dental treatment of mothers, and children under school age, continues satisfactorily. The number of children under age, who have attended for treatment at the clinic, has doubled in the year as has the number of mothers supplied with dentures subsequent to extraction of teeth. Particulars of this work may be found in the subjoined table. |

W. F. DAWE, L.D.S., R.C.S. (Eng.), 34 BARKING TOWN URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. Public Health Offices, Barking, Essex. 19th November, 1926, RHEUMATISM IN SCHOOL CHILDREN. As directed, I beg to report upon the question of Rheumatism in the school child, a disease with Cancer and Consumption responsible for roughly one-third of the Country's death rate. |
5777b47a-f463-48d5-9bd6-6437ee0b16ff | The following facts are interesting in the light of recent investigations:β 1.βThe total number of deaths in England and Wales in 1924 attributed to heart disease and other affections for which rheumatism is responsible was 60,050, yielding the highest proportion per 1.000 deaths from all causes, while if deaths of the circulatory system be added (as probably in many cases the}' should be), the figure becomes still further augmented. Turning to local statistics for 1925, much the same ratio is found, 12.17 per cent, of the total death rate being due to cancer 10.62 (exclusive of diseases of the circulatory system), due to rheumatism, and 10.88 due to tuberculosis. 2.βBesides being a fertile cause of death at all ages, rheumatism is known to materially shorten life, 30 per cent. of all cases where the disease has been contracted in early childhood dying before the twentieth year, and a further 10 per cent. |
67076610-1e6e-4727-9726-dd466137b375 | before the thirtieth year. At least 50 per cent. of all rheumatic cases develop and die from heart affections. 35 3.βOne-sixth of the industrial invalidity of the country arises from rheumatic infections. The annual loss to the Approved Societies is Β£2,000,000 and the work lost to the members equivalent to three million weeks per year. Among the principal causes of rheumatism may be mentioned enlarged and septic tonsils in some 50 per cent. of cases, while dental sepsis, damp houses and damp clothing are correlated in the causation of the disease in a large proportion of cases. Rheumatism is common in all low lying and damp localities, an increased incidence of the disease in London having been shown to follow the course of the River Thames, and explaining probably some of the reasons for the prevalence of rheumatic affections in this neighbourhood. Through the kindness of Dr. |
c981377b-7f1b-4022-8784-1442f7a2ddfe | Adshead, I am able to produce the following statistics relative to the prevalence of rheumatism in 784 school children examined during the last two months:β Of 245 "entrants," 15.1 per cent. were rheumatic. early symptoms being present in 9.3 per cent. and heart complications in 5.7 per cent. Among 259 "intermediates," 10.4 per cent. showed early symptoms, while heart complications had increased to 7.7 per cent. Among 280 "leavers" early cases had fallen to 5.7 per cent., while those with the more severe type of heart affection had then risen to 13.2 per cent. Among a school population therefore of 784, the percentage of those suffering from rheumatism may be said to be 17.4, while those leaving school with permanently damaged hearts would be 9.05 per cent., a state of matters in great measure preventable. |
3085cefa-c7d4-4cf1-98f8-a386c575b64b | I append the following suggested lines of prevention and treatment of this disease. 1.βIn order to gain a better supervision of the growing child, it is necessary that the artificial barrier which now exists between the School Medical Service and Infant Welfare Departments be broken down, the same nurse-visitor becoming responsible for the care of all children from birth to fourteen years. Damage to health is most frequently done in those years immediately preceding the child's entry to school, as, for example, in the large number of 36 neglected conditions of the teeth and throat found in the entrant, and due very largely in my opinion to the loss of touch between these two departments which takes place during this transition period. 2.βAdequate means for the drying of children's clothes and boots should be provided in all elementary schools. 3.βA register of all known cases of rheumatism should be compiled, cases attending the school clinic for periodic examination in much the same way as patients attend the Tuberculosis Dispensary. |
04379d39-7713-4e00-b11a-c4e6af4f6fd7 | 4.βThere should be medical and surgical treatment suited to each case in school, home or clinic, and particular care should be taken to remove any local infection in teeth or tonsils. 5.βParents and teachers should be informed of the significance of rheumatism and its early symptoms, of the dangers of neglecting growing pains, sore throats, anaemia, etc., the symptoms explained which indicate the possible onset of rheumatism, the importance of rest in its treatment, and other means which may be taken to guard a child from conditions such as damp rooms, damp boots and clothing which predispose to the disease. 6.βLastly where definite evidence of heart disease is apparent, the child should be certified as a cripple and admitted to the Special School where appropriate treatment could be meted out for his condition. |
5810bfc0-759b-4379-baac-95c614a4ef07 | Although hospital accommodation throughout the country for the treatment of rheumatism is hopelessly inadequate, this lack may to some extent be surmounted locally by keeping such children under regular supervision at the Child Welfare Centre, the Special School and School Clinic, active and close co-operation existing between such Centres and a Care Committee, who, with the School Medical Officer, would advise in regard to the home and social environment, after care, upbringing and employment.

Public Health Offices, Barking, Essex. To the Chairman and Members of the Urban District Council of Barking Town. Mr. Chairman, Mrs. Jackson and Gentlemen, Herewith I beg to submit for your favourable consideration the Annual Report on the Public Health Services of the Urban District of Barking for the year ended 31st December, 1927. |
841f9baa-d90d-4c30-9300-7373a86d109e | It was only late in September that I took up my duty as Medical Officer of .Health, so that I am unable personally to speak for more than a small portion of the year under review, but, for the purpose of complying with the requirements of the Ministry of Health, I have written the report as though I were responsible for its entirety. The report for this year will therefore of necessity follow closely the report for the previous year, and I wish to express my indebtedness for the help I have received from that report, and for the help I have received on every hand from my staff, without whose aid the present report would have been very difficult indeed to have produced. I am, Mr. Chairman, Mrs. Jackson and Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, C. LEONARD WILLIAMS, Medical Officer of Health. 8 SUMMARY OF PARTICULARS REQUIRED BY CIRCULAR 834 OF THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH, DATED 15th DECEMBER, 1927. 1. General Statistics. |

MARRIAGES. There were 304 marriages registered in the district in 1927. This is equal to a marriage rate of 7.6 per 1,000 population. |
743e9e40-dedd-4684-8643-319349fcfe50 | In 1922, there were 208 marriages, equal to a rate of 5.6; in 1923, 219 marriages, equal to a rate of 5.9 per 1,000; in 1924, 208 marriages, equal to a rate of 5.4 ; in 1925, 258 marriages equal to a rate of 6.7, and in 1926, 249 marriages equal to a rate of 6.3. 11. BIRTHS. The net number of births registered in 1927 was 710, affording an annual birth rate of 17.7 per 1,000 population, compared with 21.01 in 1926 and 21.4 in 1925. Of all births, 21 were illegitimate, or a proportion to total births of 2.9 per cent. |
0f45f138-acd0-4c43-bb2d-be149bed0bb3 | Notification of Births Act, 1907-1915.βOf the total births recorded in the district during 1927, all except 38 or 5.3 per cent. of the total, were notified to the Medical Officer of Health, 461 being notified by midwives and 213 by parents and doctors. 18 still-births were notified, 4 being notified by midwives and 14 by doctors and others. 2 still-births, which took place in the district, were not notified. 20 SECTION 2. SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE DISTRICT. WATER SUPPLY. Water is supplied by the South Essex Water Company from deep wells in the chalk at Dagenham, Chadwell Heath, Ilford and Barkingside. Analytical particulars of a sample appeared in the Report for 1923. RIVERS AND STREAMS. |
6760a5cf-8606-44e9-b69a-83802df79e24 | The Rivers and Streams of the district come within the jurisdiction of the Essex Sewers Commissioners (who are the Tidal Flush and Flood Water Drainage Authority), and the Port of London Authority, who are the recognised Navigation Authority for the Thames, as defined by the Port of London Consolidation Act, 1920, and who have also certain powers as to the fouling of streams, etc. . RAINFALL. The rainfall for the year ended December 31st was 26.53 inches. Rain fell on 30S days throughout the period in question. SEWAGE. A water-carriage system is general, except at Rippleside. Over the greater part of the area there is a separate sewage and storm water system. 22 Sewage is treated within the district by precipitation and sedimentation, the resulting effluent being discharged into the River Roding. SCAVENGING. |
e6e8806e-50ac-4fb6-8d3f-3c0a02c42650 | The question of scavenging (which is closely linked with that of sewage disposal in several respects) comes under the control of the Engineer. Domestic and trade refuse is collected weekly in horsedrawn two-wheeled vehicles, and deposited on low-lying land. The question of replacing these methods has received consideration and a new type of vehicle is shortly to be introduced. CESSPOOLS, PRIVYMIDDENS AND PAIL-CLOSETS. In the unsewered portion of the district there remains 54 premises with cesspools, 35 with pail-closets and 13 houses with privies. For cesspool emptying, a tank vehicle is employed, the contents being pumped out and afterwards discharged into the sewers. Privymiddens are emptied into tumbrils and the contents buried; the same remark being applicable to pail-closets. Housing Statistics for the year 1927. 1. GENERAL. |

The Public Health (Smoke Abatement) Act, 1926, came into orce on 1st July, 1927. |
ac8b402b-7c00-4e4a-9ad0-aa183b8f0f97 | Previous to this date, all observations upon chim::.ey shafts, were for periods of one hour,, but following the commencement of this Act, it was decided to'introduce 30 minute observations and to limit the permissible period of black smoke emission to 2 minutes in the aggregate ; excluding bursts of less than 30 seconds. Whilst there has been considerable improvement in smoke emission, there are still 3 offenders who as yet, do not regularly conform to this standard. These offenders, however, are giving their serious attention to the technical difficulties connected with their boiler installation and are keeping smoke emission to a minimum. One hundred and twenty-seven observations were carried out. In 37 instances, offences occurred ; in which cases appropriate action was taken. In respect of one factory, it was necessary to serve formal notice. This authority is a member of the Greater London Smoke Abatement Regional Committee. OFFENSIVE TRADES. |
2d0799a7-d01b-460b-ac6d-6559355774fc | The following shows the nature of trades carried on and the number of premises registered :β Fish Fryers 20 Fish-skin Scrapers 1 Dealers in Rags and Bones 10 Fat Melters and Extractors β > Gut Scrapers 1 Oil Boilers 1 These premises received 3S5 visits. Forty-two breaches of the Bye-laws were discovered and dealt with. One additional premises was licensed for fish frying, and at four other premises there was a change of occupier. One application to commence the business of a fish fryer was refused. During the year, the occupier of premises situated on the marshes discontinued the business of fish-skin scraper. 29 The fat melting premises in Clapgates Lane was burnt out and new buildings erected. They are of a much better character than those previously used, but do not reach the standard we should prefer. PIGGERIES. |
f0e367f5-64d5-4b03-b951-0b90b94db669 | There are 17 piggeries in the district, at five of which pigs are kept on an extensive scale. These are at considerable distance from any houses ; are situated on low lying land, and require constant supervision to secure any approach to sanitary conditions. Serious attention has been given to the question of drainage, and the general position is still under discussion. STABLES. One prosecution in connection with a stable in North Street was necessary. The occupier was fined 10/- and costs, and ordered to abate the nuisance from absence of sufficient drainage, and* manure accommodation. COMMON LODGING HOUSES. Eighty visits were paid to the two common lodging houses. It was necessary to secure the rebuilding of the wash-house in one instance ; apart from the general repairs in other parts of the premises. At the other lodging house, a systematic renewal of beds took place. |
14e3a082-d57a-485b-9d95-ccdd719f1eeb | With respect to this house, which is of the old type, I am glad to report considerable improvement, which is being maintained, in the standard of conditions. TENTS, VANS, SHEDS. There are still ten of these undesirable dwellings. With respect to a concerted barn at Rippleside which was occupied, a Closing Order was made. To control the usq of this type of dwelling necessitates frequent visits by the sanitary inspectors. With two exceptions, the van dwellers are all anxious, given the opportunity of housing accommodation, to vacate these unsatisfactory habitations. HOUSES LET IN LODGINGS. There is nothing further to add to the report on such,houses contained in the report for the year 1926. 30 INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD. MILK SUPPLY. g. Of the total the bulk is pasteurised, being received from large wholesale factories and distributed by retail dairymen. |
fa14f360-373e-452d-a7dd-d75d502fb38f | Including four whose premises are situated outside the district, there are 33 registered retail purveyors. These are frequently inspected, particular attention being paid to facilities for the clcansing of utensils. There continues an improvement in the methods of distribution, unsatisfactory metal cans previously used by householders being gradually withdrawn, and the glass bottle fitted with cap, proving more satisfactory both for service and storage. The following table shows the number of licences granted for the sale of graded milk under the Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1923, during the year :β (a) " Certified " Milk 1 (b) " Grade A (Tuberculin Tested) " Milk 4 (c) " Grade A " Milk 1 (d) "Pasteurised" Milk 1 A licence was granted to a local firm for the bottling of " Grade A" milk. During the year 4 samples of " Grade A " milk were submitted for examination, all of which were satisfactory. |
df994ea6-420f-4df7-839d-cc552119d3fc | MEAT INSPECTION. In the early part of the year, slaughtering was taking place the registered slaughter-house and also the one subject to an annual licence. The occupier of the registered slaughter-house was slaughtering, for the short period of his occupation, indifferent quality cow b^f, which was consigned to the wholesale market. 31 Such carcases received the strictest examination, and a considerable quantity of diseased meat was condemned. It was ascertained that the animals were purchased at certain cattle markets, and a communication on the matter was addressed to the County Medical Officer. The registration of this slaughter-house has since lapsed. The occupier of the licensed premises continues to carry out his business in a satisfactory manner. During the year, 150 notifications to slaughter were received, and 97 beasts, 204 pigs, 78G sheep, and 137 calves were examined. |
20071230-9006-46e2-af67-a0af0abe5df7 | Diseased meat weighing 2 tons, 11 cwts., 1 quarter, and 20 pounds, was destroyed. Particulars are set out in the following table :β DISEASED MEAT. Descripticm.

No contraventions of special importance occurred during the year. Such breach of the regulations as were discovered by the inspectors during their routine visits, were dealt with informally, and successfully. Fortunately, there are no " gutter stalls " used in the district. SALE OF FOOD & DRUGS ACTS. I am indebted to Mr. |

During the year, the Minister of Heaith approved the Barking Town (Parson's Row) Improvement Scheme, 1926, and a commencement was made on the erection of flats in Gascoigne Road, in which a number of the tenants are to be rehoused. Sufficient progress had not been made in December, 1927, however, for any rehousing to take place. |
