visited
The records of this year are not so voluminous as those immediately
preceding, the epidemics having abated; but there are
numerous instances of typhoid fever and infectious diseases. A
large number of dwellings were inspected, and reports made
thereon, with a view to proceedings under the Artizans' and
Labourers' Dwellings Act. The St. Thomas' National Schools, in
Arbour-street, were visited, and the attention of the managers
called to certain defects in their sanitary condition, water supply,
&c. An appendix is added, containing the various reports of your
Medical Officer, re the above-named Act. The following places
were visited:—Murdoch-cottages, Russell-street, St. Paul'-road,
Turner's-road, Ocean-street, Ben Jonson-road, Pedley's-orchard,
Jubilee-street, Stepney-green, Jamaica-street, Yalford-street, St.
Anne's-road, Mile End-road, and Eagle passage.
