In conclusion, it appears that Hooping Cough
and Scarlet Fever (more especially the latter disease)
have been unusually fatal during the year ; and that
Scarlet Fever and Measles prevailed with some
severity during the last three months of the year ; but
that with these exceptions the items of the mortuary
tables reveal little of special importance, and the
health of the parish is fairly good.
The details of the Sanitary work done during
the 12 months ending March 26th, 1876, are given
in detail in Table III. A large amount of work has
been accomplished; but there is nothing calling for
special comment, excepting the proceedings taken
under the Artizans' and Labourers' Dwellings Act,
1868. The following are the places which have
been brought under the operation of the Act and the
results in each case:—
Neate Street, 120, 122, and 124, ordered to be demolished.
Foster's Buildings, Neate Street, 1 to 6 inclusive, ordered to be
thoroughly repaired.
Havil Street, 14, ordered to be demolished.
Basing Road, 10 to 17 inclusive, ordered to be thoroughly repaired.
Park Buildings, 12 to 17 inclusive, ordered to be thoroughly
