Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
drawn was not stated, in one the water was stated not to be
required, and in one the premises were pulled down.
Compared with 1906 there is a very large reduction in the
number of premises from which the supply was withdrawn for
arrears, and an increase in the number of empty premises.
Mortuaries.
No change has taken place in the four Mortuaries during the
year. I have inspected them on several occasions and am able to
report that the Regulations and By-laws made by the Council in
1905 have been in all cases complied with.
The site of the new Mortuary for Wandsworth has not yet
been decided on, and the matter is still under the consideration of
the Public Health Committee.
In Clapham 33 bodies were removed to the Mortuary, compared
with 29 in 1906; in Streatham 49, compared with 35; and
in Wandsworth 89, of which 49 were from Wandsworth, 13 from
Putney, and 27 from Tooting; a total of 171, compared with 212
in 1906.
