Small-Pox.—During the year it has not been necessary
to adopt any measures against the spread of this disease, as
no case occurred in Willesden.
Land has now been purchased in the neighbourhood of
Kingsbury, and the Council has at present under consideration
a scheme for the erection of a Small-Pox Hospital.
This matter was dealt with by me during the year in a
special report, which appears as Appendix I to the present
report.
