For purposes of administration, in relation to the
Shops Acts 1912 and 1913, the District was divided into the
"Harringay" and "Tottenham Remainder" areas, and
Half-holiday Closing Orders have been made for Wednesday
in respect of the former rea, and for Thursday with respect
to the latter. A complete and revised register of shops has
been prepared on the card index system.
Tottenham participated largely in the widely prevailing
epidemic of Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria during the last
four months of the year.
I have to thank the Chairman and Members of the
Public Health Committee and of the Council for their
unfailing courtesy and support.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
David C. Kirkhope.
