1910.—Orders declaring the trades of fish-skin scraper, fish fryer, dealer
by retail in rags, bones, skins, fat or other like articles in an offensive
condition, blood drier, tanner, leather dresser, fat melter or fat
extractor, glue maker, size maker, gut scraper, and oil boiler to be

16. HOSPITALS.
Hospitals provided or subsidised by the Local Authority :
(a) Small-pox.—By arrangements with West Ham, small-pox cases have been
dealt with at Orsett. This agreement with West Ham has terminated since the
end of the year under review and alternative arrangements have been made.
(b) Hospital Provision at Upney Lane.—You have two hospitals at Upney
Lane—a maternity hospital and infectious diseases hospital—and you are building
a new infectious diseases hospital.
The maternity hospital is a galvanized iron building, and its outside is not
unlike that of the well-known "Old Cottage," but, within, again like the same old
cottage, everything is wondrous neat and clean.
