SEWAGE DISPOSAL WORKS.
The disposal of the pressed sludge has become
a difficulty so much so that the Council are now
offering this material free of cost to all inhabitants
of the district.
There has been but one complaint of any
nuisance arising from the works and this was soon
removed.
NEW BUILDINGS.
The erection of new buildings has during the
past year rapidly proceeded, and it is questionable
if at any time in the history of the Teddington
Authorities there have been as many plans of new
buildings submitted to them, as in the present
year.
ISOLATION HOSPITAL.
In regard to the provision of Hospital accommodation
for the isolation of infectious diseases, I
have again no progress to report. I have in several
of my last annual reports indicated the opinion,
that the difficulty involved in the question of
providing accommodation for the isolation for
infectious diseases can only be solved by combination
with neighbouring Authorities or by the County
Council, who are in a much better position of
dealing with this difficult subject, than the District
Council.
I remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
TH. GUNTHER, M.D.,
Medical Officer of Health.
