The total number of addresses received from other Councils
was 501, and 128 addresses were forwarded to other Councils.
The number of addresses received has decreased by 90 and
the number sent decreased by eight. 37 names and addresses
were forwarded to this Borough in error.
The number of notices sent to employers during the year
was 81, and these had a most satisfactory result.
During the year 85 cases of infective diseases—four of
Diphtheria, six of Measles, 15 of German Measles, one of
Erysipelas, and nine of Whooping Cough -were notified as
having occurred in the homes of out-workers. In none of these
cases was it necessary to make any order under Section 100
of the Factory and Workshop Act.
