The deaths represent a death rate of 0.87 per 1,000 population,
and in 18.18 per cent, of the fatal cases no previous notification had
been received. There was, however, no suggestion of wilful neglect
or refusal to notify, and accordingly no proceedings were taken.
SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE AREA.
Water Supply.
The Borough water supply is obtained from the Metropolitan
Water Board, and has been satisfactory in all respects. Certain
warnings were received, however, from time to time, urging the
conservation of supplies. Adequate arrangements have been made
for maintaining the supply and the purifying thereof in the event
of an emergency due to enemy action.
Drainage and Sewerage.
Soil sewerage is taken into the L. C. C. system, and the surface
water drainage passes into the River Lee. Members of the Borough
Council will have had an opportunity of studying the report prepared
by the Borough Engineer and Surveyor, and the proposals contained
therein, regarding the surface water drainage of the Borough, by
which it is hoped to alleviate flooding which occurs from time to
time in certain parts of the district.
Closet Accommodation.
There has been no variation in the form of closet accommodation,
but arrangements exist for the provision of emergency sanitation
should the need arise.
