Report No. II.
TO THE VESTRY OF ST. MARY, ISLINGTON.
Gentlemen,
Your Sanitary Committee Report:—
That in view of the increasing prevalence of small pox they have
taken steps towards immediately providing the Camp Hospital
accommodation for patients, at Finchley, already authorised by
the Vestry.
Owing to the larger number of cases now occurring, they
consider it also expedient that increased provision should be made,
and therefore recommend the Vestry to grant them further
authority to make all requisite arrangements for providing
additional hospital tents for the reception of such number of small
pox patients as the Committee may find to be necessary, so that
ample accommodation may be provided, without distinction, for all
the cases arising in Islington, and to take all such other steps as
they shall deem desirable in connection with the prevailing epidemic,
but that they shall not incur an expenditure of more than £2,000,
in excess of the £300 already granted, without first obtaining
further power from the Vestry.
Out of the sum now asked to be appropriated, the Committee
recommend that a payment of £400 be made to Mr. Thos. Sketchley,
the present tenant of the land of about 24 acres, for its immediate
possession, subject to the concurrence of the Burial Board.
All which is submitted.
(Signed) W. M. MOXON,
Chairman, Sanitary Committee.
