LONDON'S EMPLOYEES
The London County Council has on its wage list men with such varied occupations as greasers, chaplains, ratcatchers, rivoi- pilots, blacksmiths, and trec-pruners. . At Belmont, Surrey, the London County Council owns a wonderful laboratory where a staff of twentychemists under the supervision of thrco doctors spend their time manufacturing anti-toxin serums for diphtheria, smallpox, and other contagious diseases. Part of the London County Council's routine duty is to attend to the sewerage problems of London. Four vessels are engaged in carrying the sludge out to the Black Deep in the North Sea. Each vessel has a steward and a ship's boy, and two, sometimes three, greasbrs among itss crew of gangers and flushers. At Holleslcy Bay, on the east coast of Suffolk, the council runs under the administration of the Public Assistance Committee, a farm of 1300 acres, famed throughout the Eastern Counties for its flock of sheep. Last year the total prize-money won by the sheep amounted to £156,' or just over £ 1 per sheep.
