Spun Iron mains. Sewerage The surface water system is in the main separate from the foul water system and in certain areas is unsatisfactory. Considerable flooding occurs during heavy thunderstorms, especially in the lower High Street area. Two new Air Compressor Stations to improve the operation of the foul sewage ejectors at the West end of the district were completed and put into operation. One new Foul Sewage Ejector Station to relieve flooding at Bryn Rliosyn has been completed and is now in operation. Food Supplies Careful supervision has been maintained over the premises of retailers, especially those of Butchers, Bakeries and Dairies. For number of inspections and details of shops, etc., see Public Health Inspector’s report. All meat sold in the area is killed and inspected at the Public Abattoir, Rhyl. The need for the greatest care in the prepar- ation and handling of cooked meats, pies and pastries cannot be too strongly stressed in view of unfortunate experiences in past years. Inspection of premises has re- 'ea'ed a high standard or cleanliness in most premises and the department s advice has been readily accepted when tendered.
