Table VIII. shows the result of the analyses of the water
supplied to the Parish by the two companies during each of
the twelve months.
The average quality of the water supplied by both Companies
was better than during the twelve months ending
March, 1889. The average quality of the Chelsea Company's
water was, as then, better than that of the Grand
Junction Company's water. All the samples when seen
through a depth of two feet were clear and had a slight
greenish tint; they were all free from copper, lead, and
iron.
For the information of the Parishioners, I may mention
that a hospital carriage for removing persons suffering from
infectious diseases (including Diphtheria) is kept at the
Workhouse in Wallis's Yard, Buckingham Palace Road, and
that the Ambulance belonging to the Metropolitan Asylums
Board is kept at Seagrave Road, Fulham; but those who
are in a position to bear the expenses of their support
should apply at the London Fever Hospital, Liverpool Road,
Islington ; or, in case of small-pox, at the Highgate Smallpox
Hospital, where they can be accommodated on favourable
terms.
I have the honour to be,
My Lords and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
W. H. CORFIELD, M.A., M.D. (Oxon.),
F.R.C.P. (London).
19, Savile Row, London, W.,
June, 1890.
