All the samples, when seen through a depth of 2ft., were
fairly clear and had a slight greenish-yellow tint, except
the sample of the Chelsea Company's water collected in
August, which was slightly cloudy, and the samples collected
from both the Companies' mains in November and
December, which were slightly turbid.
For the information of the Parishioners, I may mention
that a hospital carriage for removing persons suffering from
infectious diseases (including Diphtheria) is kept at the
Workhouse in Wallis's Yard, Buckingham Palace Road,
and that the Ambulance belonging to the Metropolitan
Asylums Board is kept at Seagrave Road, Fulham; but
those who are in a position to bear the expenses of their
support should apply at the London Fever Hospital,
Liverpool Road, Islington; (or, in case of small-pox, at the
Higbgate Small-pox Hospital), where they can be accommodated
on favourable terms. Also that a Refuge has
been provided at No. 1, Pimlico Road, for the use of persons
during the disinfection of their rooms.
I have the honour to be,
My Lords and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
W. H. CORFIELD.
19, Savile Row, London, W.,
June, 1893.
