WORK DONE AT THE DISINFECTING STATION.
The number of articles disinfected at the Disinfecting Station was larger
than in the preceding two years, as they numbered 25,463, which number,
however, does not include thousands cf small articles such as handkerchiefs,
stockings, collars, cuffs, ties, etc., which are usually made up in small bundles.
The work of disinfection was done well and expeditiously, and the
disinfected articles have been invariably returned home the same day as
they were received.
