This Laboratory has been established to help Local Author- ities throughout the Country in their investigation of milk and water supplies in relation to Infectious Disease. Bacteriological examinations of Water Supplies are under- taken, but any chemical work and milk supplies are examined only in reference to outbreaks of suspected infectious disease, and not as a routine measure. Use is also made of the Emergency Public Health Laboratory at Birkenhead, which is more convenient for transport of samples than Conway. HOSPITAL ACCOM MODATI ON. (1) General.
