Edgware
Congregational
Chapel
This chapel was closed during the year: permission therefor
was obtained from the Home Office for the removal of
9 bodies from the graveyard to the Hendon Cemetery. This
work was satisfactorily carried out.
The sanitary tables at the end of this report have been
compiled by Mr. Johnson, your Sanitary Inspector, who has
given, me every assistance. The work becomes heavier every
year in the district, but in spite of this he discharges his
duties admirably, for which I am very grateful.
SECTION 5.
SMALLPOX ACCOMMODATION.
We have now a satisfactory arrangement with the Willesden
Urban District Council to take in any cases of Smallpox
which may occur in our district, but I am thankful to
say that we have up to the present had no occasion to make
Use of it.
SECTION 6.
ISOLATION HOSPITAL AND ACCOMMODATION.
Cases 67. Death 1.
The accommodation of this hospital consists of 26 beds
and cots.
During the past year 67 cases were treated; last year the
number was 92. I am sorry, to say that one death occurred,
from Diphtheria.
Of the 67 cases, 51 were Scarlet Fever, and the remaining
16 Diphtheria. Of the Scarlet Fever cases, 8 were complicated
by a secondary disease, measles in each case.
Of the 51 cases of Scarlet Fever, 11 remained over from
1914, and of the 16 cases of Diphtheria, 3 remained, making
a total for the past year of 53 fresh cases, 40 being Scarlet
Fever, and 13 Diphtheria.
