The much needed alterations and additions to the administrative
block were completed during August in addition to the re-arrangement
and furnishing of the staff quarters. The following accommodation
was provided:-
Eight Bed Rooms, Servants' Hall, Sewing Room, Linen Store
and Lavatory.
A new Motor Ambulance was purchased in October.
Small Pox Hospital.
The Small Pox Hospital is situated at Yeading.
The alterations and additions which comprise a new wing,
communicating buildings and repairs to roof of existing buildings,
are now well in hand and going on satisfactorily, in spite of the floods
which very much handicapped the contractors.
Ambulance Facilities.
A Motor Ambulance is provided for the removal of infectious
cases, bedding and clothing. The arrangements made are very
good ; the motor ambulance is very prompt in attending.
