Pulmonary diseases caused 4 deaths, and those of
the tubercular order 6. There were 2 deaths from
age, 2 from heart disease, and 1 from influenza with
bronchitis.
Two inquests were held. One death of an
infant was due to accidental suffocation in bed.
Nineteen cases of infectious disease were notified.
They included: scarlet fever 6, diphtheria 8
erysipelas 3, and typhoid fever 2.
The stench complained of at the premises of
Warren Bros., 39, Tanner Street, was due to the
unloading of material in an offensive condition.
On this being placed in lime, the nuisance was
abated. There are now 10 casks of raw material on
the premises. At present they are not offensive,
but it is quite likely that they may be so when they
are emptied.
