CONTAGIOUS DISEASE.
In accordance with a recent resolution of the Vestry, we are now
regularly supplied by the local registrars, with particulars of all deaths
occurring in the parish. These are received on the Monday in each week,
and on the following day I visit, in company with one of the Inspectors,
all houses where deaths from infectious disease have occurred. The
books of the district medical officers are also searched for cases of similar
nature under treatment, and these, together with cases reported from
other sources, are also visited. Notices are immediately served upon the
owners to cleanse, disinfect, and carry out such sanitary improvements
as are considered necessary. Our proceedings are reported to the Sanitary
Committee on the "Wednesday; each case is discussed, and further proceedings
are taken where our recommendations are not attended to. We
always endeavour to avoid legal proceedings whenever we can, but
unfortunately are not always able to do so.
