disinfection by reason of the recurrence of contagious
disease. The Cowhouses and Slaughterhouses of the
parish were all, as usual, examined and reported on as

the "Wimbledon Sewage Irrigation," Messrs. Neal's
"Manufacture of Tar Paving Materials" at Hendham

should be noted with satisfaction that the whole of the
sanitary work of the year has been conducted without
the necessity for the employment of any legal procedure.
