The total number of infectious cases removed to
hospital was 696 against 725 in 1893. These included 9
cases of small-pox, 411 of scarlet fever, 248 of diphtheria,
and 28 of fever.
Table XV. gives a list of the number of houses or
rooms disinfected by the vestry officials, and of the number
of articles disinfected in the parish disinfector or destroyed.
Without going into details 1,530 rooms or houses were
disinfected and 1,960 lots of bedding and other articles.
No compensation for articles damaged or destroyed was
allowed. It is gratifying to know that all this work has
been done systematically and satisfactorily by your disinfecting
staff.
