    SWIMMING POOLS In addition to the public swimming pool, there are 8 pools at Junior and Senior Schools within the City and a further pool at the Nurses’ Home. During the period May to September, 161 visits were made to these pools and 82 samples of swimming pool waters were taken for bacteriological examination, all of which were satisfactory. Following a series of unsatisfactory water samples from the public swim¬ ming pool last year, the City Council have now installed a new filtration and chlorination plant. The result was that all samples taken from this pool have since been satisfactory despite the heavy loading to which the pool was sub¬ jected. Samples continue to be taken from the school swimming pools in the City and little or no difficulty was experienced during the year. Arrangements have been made at the schools for proper records to be kept of the pH value and chlorine content of the water. HOUSING 1689 enquiries were dealt with by the Department relating to property in the City including Official Searches under the Land Charges Act, inspections made prior to granting of Improvement Grants, Mortgages and houses offered for sale to the City Council.
