the Conference were to be presented to the President of the Local
Government by a deputation of representatives of the local authorities,
who appointed delegates to attend the Conference.
After the above Conference the Gore Park Farm (Convalescent
Smallpox) Hospital was opened for fever cases, and the difficulty for
the time being was tided over.
Twenty-one notifications, 5 in Poplar and 16 in Bromley, dealt
with cases of outworkers. The usual notices were served upon the
persons giving out the work, and the work was discontinued until
the premises were free from infection.
Seven passengers coming into the district were notified from
various Port Sanitary Authorities. They were visited and found to
be in good health. Three people taken off s.s. "Condor" were notified
from Whitechapel as coining to this district. The address given
could not be found. The fact was communicated to the superintendent
of the shelter who had notified the cases.
Note.—Mr. Potts has kindly given me the following figures which
