Factories and
Bakehouses, and
Workshops.
There are now 51 on the Register, as against 23 last
year—a large increase. There were four contraventions
detected.
The Tables at the end of this report are a record of the
indefatigable work of Mr. Johnson, your Sanitary Inspector.
The work is greatly on the increase, owing to the increased
population. I wish to thank Mr. Johnson for his ready cooperation,
and for his careful management in all the various
matters connected with our work.
Bdgware Church has during the year been completely
and efficiently drained, and the subsoil in the Church, which
was impregnated with animal matter and saturated with
water, has been removed, and the Church is now in a
thoroughly sanitary state.
I wish to thank Mr. Webb, the Surveyor, and Mr. Johnson,
the Sanitary Inspector, for their supervision and kind
assistance to me in this matter.

ISOLATION HOSPITAL.
Cases: 72. Deaths: 0.
During the past year 72 cases were treated in the
Hospital, and I am glad to say there were no deaths.
This is five less than the number for the preceding year,
but the incidence of infectious diseases was much smaller.
Of the 72 cases, 52 were Scarlet Fever, and 20 Diphtheria.
Seven cases of Scarlet Fever and three of Diphtheria remained
over from 1907.
