A suggestion made by the Corporation of Croydon for the
formation of a Joint (Small-pox) Hospital Board for the
Borough of Croydon, the Rural District of Croydon, and the
Urban District of Wimbledon, was approved of by the Council,
on the understanding that the Council's representation on the
Joint Board shall consist of three elected representatives out
of twelve, and one ex-officio representative out of three.
A Local Government Inquiry was held at the Croydon
Town Hall on the subject. There was no opposition, and a
Provisional Order constituting the Joint Board was made and
submitted to Parliament for confirmation.
