Each tenement has a scullery or kitchen (which may be used as a
living room), and a w.c. attached. The rooms are 9 feet high, and of
varying cubic capacity. The rooms with scullery and w.c. let as
follow:—one room 2s. to 3s 6d.; two rooms 4s. 6d. to 5s. 6d.; three
rooms 5s. 6d. to 6s. 6d.; four rooms 6s. 6d. to 8s. 6d. I find by
looking through the Medical Registers at the Guardians' offices, that
77 medical orders were issued by the Relieving Officers. The notifications
received were: Scarlet Fever, 8 (2 under 5 years) removed 5;
Diphtheria, 5 (3 under 5 years) removed 1; Typhoid Fever 2, removed
2; and Erysipelas, 9 (1 under 5 years), making a total of 24,
and giving a rate per 1000 living of 13.6. Thirty-two deaths actually
occurred in the buildings, and 13 deaths took place in outlying institutions,
making a total of 45, and giving a death rate of 25.5; 11 of
the 45 deaths were children under one year, and add seven to the 11
deaths will give the total deaths under 5 years. There were 5 deaths
from Zymotic diseases as classified by the Registrar-General, giving a
rate of 2.8 per 1000 living.
