With respect to the deaths in the huts at the rear of 13, and 15, Brand-street,
I have to say that several weeks ago I reported these huts to the Sanitary Committee,
who viewed them and coincided in my opinion that they were totally unfit for habitation
by human beings. They were erected without proper notice to the Vestry,
and in contravention of the 29th Section of the Building Act. By the advice of
the Vestry Clerk I communicated this fact by letter to the Metropolitan Board of
Works.
The excess of our mortality during June is further accounted for by the occurrence
of 52 deaths from scarlet fever, which is 25 above the mean number, and by
14 deaths from measles, which is six above the mean. The excess of deaths from
these three diseases amounts to 54. The weekly new cases of scarlet fever were
7, 9, C, 10 and 11.
The deaths from bowel complaints were about the mean number for the month of
June, but those from diseases of the nervous system and the organs of circulation
and respiration were unusually numerous.
