The Total number of addresses received from other Councils
was 511, and 139 addresses were forwarded to other Authorities.
The number of addresses received has decreased by three, and the
number sent has also decreased by eight. 30 names and addresses
were forwarded to this Borough in error.
The number of notices sent to employers during the year was
40, and these had a most satisfactory result.
During the year 27 cases of infective diseases—17 of Mumps,
one of Whooping Cough, one of Measles, two of German Measles, two
of Scarlet Fever, two of Diphtheria, one of Influenzal Pneumonia,
and one of Erysipelas—were notified as having occurred in the
homes of out-workers. In none of these cases was it necessary to
make any order under Section 110 of the Factory and Workshop
Act.
