RECEPTION HOUSE.
The report of the work carried on at the Reception House during the
first six months of the year, 1902, will be found in my report on the
Small-pox epidemic, 1901-2, in the annual report for 1901. The number
of families admitted in the second half of the year was above the average
of former years.
Not a single complaint has been made by any resident in relation to
any matter, and therefore, we must infer that all the persons using the
house were comfortable, and well pleased with the accommodation
provided.
The interior of the house was redecorated in the Autumn.
The following table shews the number of persons accommodated in
the Reception House during the year.
