The total number of addresses received from other Councils
was 408, and 119 addresses were forwarded to other Authorities.
The number of addresses received has decreased by 103, and the
number sent has also decreased by 20. 12 names and addresses
were forwarded to this Borough in error.
The number of notices sent to employers during the year was
19, and these had a most satisfactory result.
During the year 31 cases of infective diseases—16 of Measles,
four of Mumps, three of Whooping Cough, three of Scarlet Fever,
three of Chicken pox, and two of Diphtheria—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.
