In all cases coming to my knowledge I have removed and properly
disinfected (with the consent of the owners) all bedding and clothing
used by persons suffering from Infectious diseases.
The Slaughter and Cow Houses in the Hamlet have also been
frequently visited during the year.
From these reports it will be seen that a great deal of work has been
done in this, the Sanitary Department. There is much more to be
done to improve the healthiness of the district, which will be accomplished
as soon as time and circumstances will permit. In conclusion
I beg to thank the Sanitary Committee and also the members of the
Vestry for the courtesy they have shown me during this my first year of
office, and hope I may be many years associated with you.
The Names of Streets in the different Wards in which cases of
Infectious disease occurred, the houses have been inspected and disinfected
in each case.
