WORK DONE AT DISINFECTING STATION.
The work done at this station was, in consequence of the few cases of sickness
from infectious disease, much less than in the previous year, yet 23,748 separate
articles, including many bundles containing small clothes, were disinfected.
The two machines were used alternately week about, so that there was
never any delay caused by the necessity for repairs.
Since 1895, when the machines were erected, 240,056 large articles, apart
from the small ones, have been disinfected without any appreciable damage
to the clothing, and consequently with very little expense in compensation
to the borough.
