aggregate of 4.58 inches. There was an average quantity of ozone
in the air. The general direction of the wind was W.S.W.
It may be interesting to note that the City of London has referred
to "the Sanitary Committee" for report, the proposal to construct a
" Crematorium " in the Cemetery at Ilford. In the last table of the
Appendix will be found collected the joint work of the Sanitary
Inspectors. I cannot allude to this without bearing testimony to the
aid I have received from these officers.
I am also indebted for much assistance in obtaining the statistics
necessary for this Report to Doctors Ilott and Case, the Secretaries
to the London and Metropolitan Free Hospitals, and also to the
Registrars of the sub-districts.
I have the honor to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
JOSEPH LOANE.
To the Board of Works,
Whitechapel District.
