During 1900, 3 certificates as to efficient disinfection
were received in respect of rooms, 3 of bedding and clothing,
and 106 of both rooms and bedding, making a total of 112,
as compared with 185 during 1899, and 162 during 1898.
It is satisfactory to note that fewer certificates have been
received during the past year, shewing that practically all
disinfection work is carried out by the Vestry's own officers
and to the satisfaction, therefore, of the Medical Officer of
Health—a condition of things to be desired.

2209 cases of notifiable infectious diseases (see page 32 )
have been attended to during the year 1900, as compared
with 2693, and 2329 during 1899 and 1898 respectively;
and in each case, after disinfection, a certificate has been
left with the occupiers of the premises as required.
5 Schools have been disinfected during the year 1900,
as compared with 7 during 1899.
