especially as regards the maternity section, will not be long

ISOLATION HOSPITAL.
Cases of infectious disease are treated by arrangement
at the Acton Isolation Hospital, and this has been in force
since 1913.

Authorities has not been found acceptable. The present
arrangement with the Acton Borough Council has not only
