One death was uncertified. The number of
notifications of infectious diseases received was 15,
viz.: of scarlet fever 7, diphtheria 5, erysipelas 2,
and typhoid fever 1.
On June 29th, I was informed of a case of
typhoid fever which had occurred in St. Olave's
District, in the person of a young woman who had
resided at 1a, Lynton Road, until June 20th. It
was reported that the cistern at that house was in
an inaccessible part of the roof and had not been
cleansed during two years. I found the cistern was
in a cleanly condition, but there was a w.c. in the
house which had no proper ventilation into the
external air. This defect has been remedied.
The occupier of No. 20, Abbey Street, complains
of nuisance caused by the burning of leather at 58,
Long Walk. The tenant of the latter premises
denies that any leather has ever been burned there,
I did not find any nuisance.
The occupier of No. 12, Woodland's Place
complains of stench from the Alaska Factory. I
have visited these premises without finding anything
that I can interfere with.
I have visited the premises which had been
disinfected under Section 60 of the Public Health
