looking after such cases, and of seeing to the efficient

abounded. But these were gradually abolished, and the
need for supplying properly constructed water-closets,
with a proper supply of water, became more and more
forced upon us. It is only since 1871 that we have
erected a disinfecting machine, and that the disinfection
of bedding and clothing has been carried out by
the Vestry.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. S. BRISTOWE.
