NOTIFICATIONS OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
From the above table, No. 14, it will be noticed
that several roads in each of the wards were infected
with one or more of the notifiable diseases. Church
End had by far the highest incidence, Harlesden and
Kensal Green coming next, the subsequent order
being:—Willesden Green, North Kilburn, Mid
Kilburn, and South Kilburn.
The average number of cases per infected road
gives a somewhat different order, Church End and
Harlesden still coming first, and South Kilburn, which
had the least per centage of infected roads and the
lowest rate per 1,000 of population, is third in order
as regards the number and per centage of cases per
road and per infected road. This is to be accounted
for on the ground of lessened facilities for temporary
isolation which exists in this Ward as compared with
those having a higher per centage of infected roads.
SMALL POX.
During the year, 88 cases of Small Pox were
notified, of which 38 occurred in Church End, 18 in
Willesden Green, 13 in Kensal Green, 10 in Harlesden,
