TRAM CARS.
In view of the increased attention that is being given
to Tuberculosis in all its forms, the bye-laws relating to
spitting in or upon tram cars might with profit be more
rigorously enforced.
AMBULANCES.
The Council possesses two Ambulances, one suitable
for the removal of ordinary infectious cases, and the other
especially built for the removal of Small Pox patients ; the
former is occasionally used for the removal of "outside"
cases of infectious disease to their own homes ; in the
ordinary way, however, our infectious cases are removed to
Hospital in the Metropolitan Asylums Board's Ambulances.
METEOROLOGICAL STATION.
The local Meteorological Station is recognised as
belonging to the second order (normal Climatological Station)
by the Meteorological Office; weekly and monthly reports
are furnished to the Head Office, an analysis of which
appears in the returns of the Registrar General, and the
meteorological tables placed outside the Municipal Buildings
should prove of considerable value to those interested in
weather study, and in the influence exerted by weather upon
special diseases.
