NOTIFICATIONS FROM PORT
SANITARY AUTHORITIES.
In 1894 I submitted a Table showing a number
of notifications sent by various Port Sanitary
Authorities of 86 persons giving City addresses
who had arrived from Cholera-infected foreign
parts. During 1899, information from the same
sources was forwarded, stating that 45 people on
their way to the City District had landed at
various seaport towns in vessels sailing from
foreign ports, mostly Spanish and Portuguese,
that were considered to be infected with Plague.
The several addresses furnished to me were
visited, and the parties interviewed when found,
with satisfactory results in all cases.
SHELTER FOR TEMPRARY
ACCOMMODATION DURING
DISINFECTION.
The establishment at No. 6, Cotton Street,
Aldersgate Street, is still in operation, pending
the completion of the new buildings now being
erected at Golden Lane.
