Special reports were made by me to the Council on various
local sanitary defects, which were remedied on the Council's
instructions to the Sanitary Inspector. Particulars of these
are enumerated in the previous summary, No. 3. Samples of
drinking water, when suspected, have been submitted to me
by the Sanitary Inspector, and, when found to be contaminated,
the South Essex Co.'s water has been laid on. The cases of
infectious disease notified for removal to the Isolation Hospital
were visited by me and removed, except in a few instances
where the diagnosis was not confirmed.
The School Medical Officer and the School Authorities
notify to me the cases of children attending school who are
suspected of suffering from infectious disease, and these are
visited by me, where no medical man is attending them, and
the proper steps taken to prevent the spread of the disease in
those instances where the suspicion is confirmed and the School
Authorities cautioned not to admit children from the same
family until the infection is over, or the case removed and
the house, &c., disinfected. There has not been so much
infectious disease (with the exception of Measles) caused by
school attendance as in the previous year, the Masters and
Mistresses of the various schools being very careful in the
admission of suspected children and giving me information at
once.
The various bake-houses, slaughter-houses, dairies and milk
shops are periodically inspected, and any insanitary condition
remedied. The Inspector also keeps observation on the Market
