One case was notified from the new part of West Barnes
District, in a semi-detached 7-roomed house, occupied by six

The house has plenty of air space both back and front,

Nothing was wrong with the sanitary arrangements. Full
investigations were made as to any possible source of infection,
and enquiries addressed to the Local Authority where the man
had visited a sick relative, but without result.
