The next Table shows the number of premises disinfected
after Measles in each sub-district for each month of the year.
The total number of premises disinfected was 2,638 (303 in
Clapham, 59 in Putney, 711 in Streatham, 418 in Tooting, and
1,147 in Wandsworth), compared with 418 in 1910, 1,012 in 1909,
884 in 1908, 955 in 1907, and 902 in 1906.
The greatest number of disinfections was carried out in March,
this being due to outbreaks in Clapham, Streatham, Tooting and
Wandsworth. The greatest number of cases occurred in February,
March and April. In August, September, October, November and
December the number of disinfections was small as there were very
few cases in any part of the Borough.
