In addition to the above 1198 houses were disinfected, in which
Small Pox and Fever had occurred. Articles of infected bedding
were disinfected in 901 cases, and burnt in 227. 88 slaughter
houses, 100 cow houses and 229 bakehouses, were also inspected.
In order to carry out the above works 2699 notices were served,
and 33 summonses issued.
At page 39 will be seen the cases in which, on conviction
before a Magistrate, penalties were inflicted together with costs.
In reference to Table VIII, it will be seen that the work of the
Sanitary Inspectors, in comparison with other years, has been
very heavy, and I have to speak in terms of commendation of the
prompt and efficient manner in which they have severally discharged
their duties.
ARCHER FARR,
Medical Officer of Health, Lambeth.
