other aide of London and both were seized with the disease on
same day, and that 14 days after partaking of them. In the other
case a gentleman was seized with it 18 or 14 days after a hearty
meal of them and was greatly impressed with the idea that such
was the cause of his attack.
The negotiations with regard to the erection of an Infectious
diseases hospital for this district are still being carried on and I
have every reason to think permission will shortly be given and its
erection commenced.
I beg to call the particular attention of the Council to table
No. 8 by which will be seen the amount of Sanitary work done
during the year; 470 houses were inspected and the number of
re-inspections after notice 900, letters written and circulars sent
out 850. Personal notices served 79, Statutory ones 231.
The Soil pipes of 48 Water Closets were taken outside and
ventilated.
It will also be seen that a considerable amount of other
important work was accomplished during the year. I have great
pleasure in pointing out to you that the health of the district of
South Hornsey still maintains its position as one of the healthiest
in and around London although it is the most densely populated
Urban district in Middlesex.
I am, Gentlemen,
Yours faithfully,
THOS. S. H. JACKMAN.
