Now, we want to understand something more about the 19119 working of the Disinfecting Establishment, and I will

be very glad if you will tell us what your duties are

in connection with that particular branch of your work.

Will you explain please?

I am in charge of the clothing. The clothing comes to the station from the plague gangs. It is disinfected, and I inspect it, to see that there is no silk or anything spoiled. I see it put in the Disinfector, and

Bee to the washing of it.

That is for clothing from a house where plague has 19120

occurrred ?

Practically any contagious disease, it goes through the same process, and it is subjected to a heat of some 270 degrees, and then after that, it is dried by say

250 degrees of dry steam. The clothing is then taken

out and I inspect it to see that it is quite dry, and

in good condition. I then send it back to the people it belongs to and they aign a receipt es having received

the same.

And do you sign a receipt as having received it in the

first instance ?

There is a certain hook with three écunterfoils. One is given to the tenant, and what clothing is counted in his presence, so many pieces is put down, and he signs as so many pieces taken away. The other one is brought in by the plague foremen and given to the Chinese engineer, who gives it to me, and I count to ace if they tally. The other one is left in the book, and when the clothing is taken back, the tenant counts and sees that the clothing compares with the counterfoil

he got.

and he signs & receipt to say that he has got
