Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2017 with funding from Wellcome Library https://archive.org/details/b29737291 AREA AND POPULATION. The extension of the boundaries of the City of Liverpool, which took place on the 9th November, 1895, increased the area under the jurisdiction of the Council of the City of Liverpool, acting as the Urban Sanitary Authority, from 5,210 acres (8 square miles) to 13,236 acres (20J- square miles). The population of the incorporated area at the middle of 1895 is estimated to have been 134,234, and the population of the old City at the same date is estimated to have been 503,967, making a total of 638,291. As regards the old City, the natural increase of the population (see page 18), by the excess in number of births over deaths, renders it very probable that the population is under-estimated. The City of Liverpool, prior to this extension, was shut off from its natural suburban outgrowths, and in this respect it differed from every one of the other thirty-five large towns of the United Kingdom. The suburban districts of cities have a lower rate of sickness and mortality than the older parts of those cities. This fact is due to various agencies, among them being the more comfortable circumstances in life of the inhabitants of the suburbs, the more scattered and sparse population, and the purer atmosphere ; in the older parts of cities the prejudical influences of unwholesome occupations, confinement, density of population, overcrowding, insanitary dwellings, &c., are noticeable, and in the poorer and more squalid localities the mischief is further added to by intemperance and filthy habits of life. These are common to all great cities, and Liverpool furnishes no exception to the rule. The extension of a city and the incorporation within its boundaries of a class of people, a large proportion of whom are of cleanly habits and of comfortable surroundings, will cause an apparent fall in the death-rate of the city taken as a whole. So far as this circumstance is concerned the extension places Liverpool on the same basis as other cities, and the rough comparisons drawn from time to time between it and them will to a certain extent be justified. The population of Greater Liverpool is now to be estimated as equal to 48 persons to the acre. This population is, however, so distributed that there are 97 persons to the acre in the old City, and lfi to the acre in the incorporated area; the distribution to the acre in the various wards is indicated on the map. One of the results of the extension of the City has been a re-arrangement of the geographical boundaries of existing wards, but the registration districts remain the same. As a consequence, the present and the former wards and registration districts do not correspond, and the statistical averages of previous years can no longer be availed of for comparison ; nevertheless, the grouping of the wards in some instances has been such as to leave a fair means for comparison between the former districts and the present re-arranged districts in the old City, but the absence of records of sufficient fulness and accuracy prevent any such method being applied to the incorporated areas. So far as the Health Eeport for the year 1895 is concerned, the period of the year at which incorporation took place rendered the adoption in every case of the new arrangement of Wards into Districts impracticable ; consequently the ward divisions existing prior to extension have been retained, excepting in those cases where new Districts are merely combinations of two or more old Wards, e.g., Yauxhall, St. Laul’s, Exchange, St. Anne’s and Lime Street into Exchange. As regards the larger Wards which have been split up into smaller ones, e.g., Everton, which has been divided into Breckfield Ward, St. Domingo Ward, Everton Ward and Netherfield Ward, no separate returns relating to the sub-divisions can be prepared until the results of the next census furnish a basis for the purpose. Available statistics relating to the added areas are recorded separately. Unless otherwise stated, all references to the City of Liverpool mean the Greater City, as extended in November, 1895. Adverting to death rates, it may be well to point out, that, irrespective of other conditions, the mortality varies widely at different age-periods.

The following table shows the actual number who died during last year in Liverpool out of every thousand living at each of the twelve age-periods indicated, and the differences which the figures show are very striking:— 1895.

The deaths in public institutions of 409 non-residents, equal to a fraction of 0*6 per 1,000 have been eliminated from the table. BIRTHS. The birth-rate in the City of Liverpool is exceptionally high. During the last ten years the mean has been 35*0, which is considerably in excess of most of the 35 great towns. Last year it was 34\5 per 1,000, a figure which was only exceeded in five other towns, viz., Salford, Wolverhampton, Sunderland, Sheffield and Gateshead, where it was 35-9, 35*4, 35*1, 34*9 and 34*6 respectively, the lowest birth-rate recorded being at Huddersfield, where it was 21*7 per 1,000; the rates for the remainder of the 35 large towns ranging between those quoted. During the fifty-two weeks of the year 1895 (terminating on Saturday, December 28tli, 1895), the Returns of the Local Registrars recorded 22,006 births within the City. Total of all Ages. Of the total births 11,148 were males and 10,858 were females, making the total birth-rate of the City equal to 34*5 per 1,000 of the population ; the average of the previous ten years for the former City area being 35*0. I he distribution ot the births in the different wards and districts of the City is indicated upon the accompanying map, and has also been arranged in the following table :— Districts and Wards. 1st Quarter. 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter. 1895.

The year 1895 was one of exceptional mortality all over the country. This is to be attributed to extreme seasonal conditions, the intense cold of the early part of the year giving rise to a very high mortality, more especially from pulmonary diseases. The cold of the first quarter of the year was not only of longer continuance than usual, but it was also of exceptional severity, the mean temperature falling during several weeks to 12 or more degrees below the average of the preceding 20 years. The summer was dry and hot ; these conditions continuing well on into the third quarter or the year were attended with a heavy infantile mortality, the sufferers being mainly infants of but a few months of age. The infantile mortality from diseases of the bowels is very largely dependent upon domestic conditions, and in the very early age periods it is only to a comparatively insignificant extent that the Sanitary Authority is able to control it. The manner of feeding is of the first importance. Prolonged and careful investigation proves that among infants under three months of age fed artificially, the deaths are 15 times as numerous as they are among an equal number of infants reared by the mother in the natural manner. It has been the practice for several years past to give a wide circulation to printed instructions explaining in the simplest manner the means by which diseases of the bowels in young infants may he best averted. Many of the effects of long-continued dryness and heat can, however, be better combated by a Sanitary Authority than can the effects of cold. Consequent upon the drought of summer and the absence of rains, streets become dirty, filth and refuse tend to accumulate and lodge about the streets, however well they may be swept, and especially is this the case in courts and alleys ; gullies and traps also become dry by evaporation, and sewer gas finds an exit through them, whilst the natural washing of the sewers by the rain is absent. Most of these can be remedied by an adequate use of water, and a free and unstinted use of it for cleaning public and private sanitary conveniences and for thoroughly washing the streets in dry weather is attended with great benefit. Inquests were held on the bodies of 207 infants under 12 months of age who had been suffocated. Inquests were held on the bodies of 110 persons, 62 men and 48 women, whose deaths were directly caused by excessive drinking, and 86 persons, 49 men and 37 women, whose deaths were accelerated by excessive drinking. The total deaths registered in the City amounted to 16,624, of which 8,288 were of males, and 8,336 of females. The death-rate of the City was equal to 25*4 per 1,000. The average in the former City area during the previous ten years was 25*6 per 1,000. The deaths occurred in the following districts :— Districts and Wards. 1st Quarter. 2nd Quarter. 3rd Quarter. 4th Quarter. Annual. Male. Fe male- Male. Female. Male. Female. Male. Female. Deaths.

In the absence of definite information, these latter have been recorded as deaths of non-residents. The results of this allocation of deaths in public institutions to the districts from whence the patients had been removed, are shown in the following table, from which a calculated rate of mortality per 1,000 per annum of the inhabitants has beeu made. The rates are calculated upon a population increasing or decreasing in the same ratio as between 1881 and 1891. The same applies to the third column of figures showing the corrected average during the preceding ten years. Districts and Wards 1895. Corrected Average Rate per 1,000 ! Deaths.

The deaths of children below five years of age amounted to 7,233, ami thus comprised 43'5 per cent, of the whole deaths. The deaths of infants below one year of age amounted to 4,441, showing that 20-2 per cent, of the children born within the City during the year, died before attaining the age of twelve months. In spite of the most assiduous care and attention the greatest risks to life from natural causes are at the very early age periods. In every city this is found to be the case, and, if in spite of maternal solicitude the loss of infant life is great, it may be expected to be, and is, very excessive where care and attention are wanting. Thus, in some parts of the City, out of every thousand infants born 129 die before attaining the age of twelve months, whilst in other parts of the City more than double that number die during the same period. In these latter cases but little attention is given by the parents to their offspring at any time, and those acquainted with the habits and customs of this too large section of the community, wonder, not that so many perish, but that so large a number survive. Those who have never had any opportunity to see this section of the community in its own environment of indolence and disorder, have a reflex of the domestic wretchedness in the condition of the ragged or half-naked children, many of tender age, begging in the streets, a spectacle which arrests the attention and excites the wonder of every person who has not been sufficiently long resident in Liverpool to become familiarised with it. The sense of parental responsibility is absent in these cases, and the money which the children procure by begging encourages the propensity to indolence ol the parents.

ZYMOTICS. This class of diseases occasioned 2,876 deaths during the year 1895, and accounted for 17‘8 per cent, ot the total mortality within the City duiing this period. The death rate from zymotic diseases per 1,000 was T5. It cannot fail to be of interest to note the marked diminution in certain forms of these diseases, notably in those forms of it to which adult life is liable. On pages 40 to 42 will be found tables indicating the deaths and the death rates from various forms of zymotic disease in the City, during each one of the last three decennial periods. Two of them, Smallpox and Typhus Fever, perhaps two of the most formidable diseases with which the Sanitary Authority has to contend have become relatively rare, having slowly given ground, year by year, before the means adopted by the Municipality to suppress them. As regards Scarlet 4 ever, the diminution, though less striking, is still very apparent. The bulk of the patients attacked with this form of disease are children above the age of infancy, and if the diminution is not as great as in the two diseases already mentioned, there is the remarkable fact that the mortality amongst patients treated in the City Hospitals is less than amongst patients left in their homes (see page 119, ve Hospitals). It is quite true that similar measures, had they been applicable, would have caused a similar diminution in the zymotic diseases which are so destructive of infant life, but the natural guardian of the infant is the mother, and the safety of the infant depends in a far greater measure upon the amount of domestic care exercised, than upon the operations which the Municipality can put into force. The extent to which the Sanitary Authority can directly interfere in these cases is relatively very limited, and the diminution in infantile moitality is proportionately less than in the cases where the influence of the Sanitary Authority can be more directly exercised. The two diseases Measles and Whooping Cough may be considered as examples. During the last year these two diseases destroyed almost as many lives as all the other zymotics put togethei, excluding infantile Diarrhoea, the great majority of deaths being those of infants below two years of age, and in the case of Whooping Gough a laige majority being under one year of age. er of these diseases is included under the Notification Act, and 1 is very doubtful whether any advantages would result were they to be included Removal to hospital would, owing to the tender age of the patient, be impracticable, while another difficulty which presents itself in these cases is that the disease is most infectious in its earliest stages. As, a consequence the cases of Measles isolated in hospital are relatively The following table shows the localities and the periods of the fatal prevalence of Zymotic diseases during 1895 :_ districts, WARDS, &c.

In September, 1894, this disease was imported into the South end ol the City by tramps. There was an unusual proportion of unvaccinated persons in that locality at that time, and some delay occurred in securing their vaccination, many of them being of the lowest and most degraded class of the community. The constant visits, however, of the staff of the Health Committee, and the prompt removal of infected persons to hospital at the earliest possible stage of the disease, checked the spread to a very great extent, and prevented its extension to other parts of the City ; nevertheless it lingered on into January and February of 1895. From time to time during the year the disease was again introduced. Stringent measures were taken to prevent its spread, and in no case did any extension follow. The total number of cases of Smallpox reported during the year was 130, of which 13 died, a percentage of 10*0. In the previous year, 229 were reported and 20 died, a percentage of 8*7. * DEATHS FROM SMALLPOX. DISTRICTS AND WARDS. Scotland Vauxhall St. Paul’s and Exchange St. Anne’s and Lime Street ..

This disease still lingers in the City in spite of the most careful watching. Its very rarity is in a measure a source of danger since the first cases in an outbreak, usually among children, are obscure in symptoms and often escape recognition by the medical attendant, whose difficulties are increased by the dirty condition of the patient and his surroundings.

This group of diseases includes Phthisis, Scrofula, Tabes Mesenterica, and Hydrocephalus. They occasioned 1,781 deaths in the City of Liverpool during the year 1895. Of late years a considerable amount of attention has been given to the causes of Tubercular Diseases, with the result that there has been a steady diminution in these forms of disease. The year 1895 was, however, owing to the excessive number of deaths from lung diseases, an exception, the deaths from Phthisis rising to 1,305. DEATHS FROM PHTHISIS WARDS. Quarters. Year. March.

The live cattle are not brought to the market in such large numbers when there is a large importation of carcases ; similarly with regard to sheep there is a decrease of about 62,000 in the number killed in the City, and an increase of about 51,000 in the number of carcases imported for sale.

ANTHRAX. On December 2nd, a cow was sent to the Abattoir by Mr. Mawer, Dairy- limn, St. Oswald Street, Old Swan, which upon examination was found to have suffered from Anthrax. The carcase was condemed. On the 23rd of the same mouth, another cow wTas found dead of Anthrax at MaweFs shippon, and on the 25th December a third cow was killed at the same address, also suffering from Anthrax. The carcases were destroyed in the usual way, and the premises dealt with as prescribed by the Orders of the Board of Agriculture.

During the year 1895, twenty applications were made to the Health Committee for licenses to keep cows on premises not previously licensed. Seventeen of these applications for keeping one hundred and sixty-nine cows were granted. Thirty-five of the shippons previously licensed have been transferred to fresh tenants, and two applications are standing over, pending alterations as to light and ventilation. The thirteen applications standing over from last year have since been granted. There were eight applications made to keep more cows than the number for which the license was originally issued, five of these, for keeping twelve cows, were granted, on certain structural alterations being made. There are at present 325 shippons licensed to keep 4,311 cows. There has been a gradual, but great, improvement during the year, as to light and ventilation in shippons. As old shippons become vacant and applications are made for renewal of the licenses, ventilating windows 2 feet 6 inches by 2 feet, and having a fall of at least 1 foot, or other efficient means of ventilation are required, and also one or more ventilating shafts passing through the roof. Six applications were made during the year to keep pigs in styes separate from, and unconnected with, shippons, two of which were granted for keepiug twenty-eight pigs. The total number of premises or styes now licensed in the city is twenty-eight for keeping one hundred and twenty pigs. DAIRIES, COWSHEDS AND MILKSHOPS ORDER. On application being made for registration of premises for the sale of milk, under the Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops Order, the sanitary arrangements are inspected by the District Sanitary Inspector, and in case of any defect being found, a notice is at once sent to the owner to remedy such defect. The premises are then inspected by the Milkshop Inspector, to ascertain that the premises are suitable and that no other business likely to cause contamination of the milk is carried on. After registration the premises are visited from time to time by the Inspectors. The number of such visits are to be found on page 61. Samples of milk for analysis are taken by the Food and Drugs Inspector. The number so taken during the year will be found on page 67. When infectious sickness occurs at a milkshop the premises are specially inspected, and the necessary action taken. In no case was disease in private houses traceable to milkshops.

The persons concerned have generally evinced readiness to comply with the requirements of the Act, and have thus lessened the difficulties in administrating the Act. 1895.

The order was not complied with, and another information was laid, when the work was done. I11 the case of an information for defective ventilation, the tenant ceased to use the premises as a bakehouse. As a result of an information for using unfit premises as a bakehouse, the tenant was fined 5s, and 4s. 6d., and afterwards left the premises, E Proceedings under the Food and Drugs and Margarine Acts. All samples of food or drugs are taken either by or under the superintendence of Inspectors of the Health Committee. It becomes necessary, however, from time to time to employ women or young lads to go into the shop to ask for the articles, and as soon as the agent receives them, the Inspector enters the shop and completes the formalities which the Act requires. This is rendered necessary as the Inspectors become known in the district. Special attention is paid to milk, a large number of samples of which are taken. SAMPLES TAKEN FOR ANALYSIS.

The application of the Sale of Food and Drugs Act to Margarine is of essential importance, inasmuch as any adulterations of Margarine, noxious or otherwise, can be readily dealt with under the Sale of Food and Drugs Act. The amount of fines for offences under the Sale of Food and Drims Act has increased during the past twelve months as compared with the preceding twelve months. It was especially noticed that the common and simple fraud of adulterating milk with water was much less frequently practised in 1895 than 1894, and the samples of milk purchased on Sundays showed a marked improvement. NUISANCES PREJUDICIAL TO HEALTH. The advice and assistance of the Department in reference to conditions prejudicial to health, were sought more frequently during the past year than in any preceding year, the applications made by residents being 7,796, an increase of several hundreds as compared with the year 1894. In many instances complaint was made to the Department only after requests addressed to the persons causing or allowing the nuisance, had been ignored. A great deal of the time of the Inspectors was taken up by these special examinations.

Interments in some of the old City Graveyards are still permitted, and much ingenuity is displayed in storing away the dead in the limited space available. It is fortunate that restrictions are placed upon these interments, and that a certain space and depth are requisite before the grave can be used, for the injurious effects of the decay of human bodies in the vicinity of dwellings cannot be doubted. The number of interments requiring supervision by the Sanitary officers is diminishing year by year. This year the attention of the Sanitary officer was required in 49 cases, against 58 in 1894. A Crematorium has been erected in Anfield Cemetery, and the ancient means of disposal of the dead by cremation, which is again finding favour in many important centres of population throughout Europe, may be resorted to here. 1895. 1894.

The aim is to keep the courts and alleys uniformly clean throughout the week, and with this view the district inspectors are instructed that every tenant in each court is in turn to be held responsible for the cleanliness of the court for a period of one week ; the inspector records in his visiting book whose turn it is, and duly informs that tenant. Failing compliance with his requirements, an information is laid under a bye-law of the Local Sanitary Act. The magistrate has rendered great help to the department by imposing a small fine in those cases in which a prosecution became necessary. There is a marked improvement in the condition of the courts, and also in the apparent willingness of the people to cleanse them. The attention of the officer is, however, very necessary, since when the visits are lessened the filty habits of the people soon lead to a recurrence of the dirty conditions. The court and alley work is greatly decreasing in amount, owing to the demolition of W-class property for the extension of business, or to the removal of insanitary property by the Insanitary Property and Artizans’ Dwellings Committee. The number of courts and alleys scheduled for inspection in 1890 was 2,165, in 1894 it had fallen to 1,766, and in 1895 it had further fallen to 1,660. During the Summer months all courts and alleys having covered entrances were specially washed and hosed down by the scavengers. EXAMINATION OF CELLAR DWELLINGS.

The number of cellars filled in by the Health Committee, free of charge to the owners, during the year was 79, and the total filled in during the last ten years was 926. COMMON LODGING-HOUSES. The ('Ommon Lodging-Houses Act provides that any person opening any premises as a Common Lodging-House, or receiving lodgers therein, without making application to the Medical Officer of Health to have such premises registered, is liable to a penalty of 40s. for every such offence. When premises have been approved and registered in accordance with the requirements of the Common Lodging-Houses Act, the following Rules and Instructions, together with suitable and permanent cards indicating the various requirements, are handed to the Keeper, to place in a prominent position in each room. In addition to the requirements mentioned in the instructions, the cleanliness and suitability of the beds and bedding engage the attention of the Inspector. RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS. 1. —No greater number than Lodgers are to be received or accommodated in this house at any one time. 2. —The windows of every sleeping-room in this house are to be opened, and kept open to their full width, from nine to ten o’clock every moruiug, and from two to three o’clock every afternoon (weather permitting), unless in case of sickness in any room requiring the windows to be closed. 3. —The floors of every room in this house shall be well swept every morning before the hour of ten, and shall be well washed during the morning of every Friday. 4. —This house shall be thoroughly cleansed, and the walls and ceiling of every room in this house shall be well and sufficiently limewashed, and the blankets, rugs, and bed-clothes, and covers used in this house, shall be thoroughly cleansed and scoured in the first week of each of the months of April, August, and December. 5. —Upon any person in this house, whether a Lodger or one of the family, being affected with fever or any contagious or infectious disorder, the Keeper shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Medical Officer of Health, at his Office, Municipal Offices, Dale Street, and the Medical Officer will visit the house, and take such proceedings as he shall think proper in compliance with the Act. 6. —If any person in this house shall be affected with fever or any infectious or contagious disorder, the blankets and bed-clothes used by such person shall be thoroughly cleansed and scoured, and the bedding fumigated, immediately after the removal of such person, and where the bedding used consists of shavings or straw, the same shall be burned immediately after such removal. 7. —The Keeper of this house shall provide sufficient accommodation for washing, together with a sufficient supply of water for the use of the Lodgers herein. 8. —The Keeper of this house shall reduce the number of Lodgers, or shall cease to receive and accommodate Lodgers altogether, immediately upon receiving notice to that effect from the Medical Officer of Health. 9-—This ticket shall be placed and kept in such situation in this house as the Medical Officer of Health shall from time to time direct, and shall be produced and delivered to such Officer on demand. N.B.—The Keeper of any Lodging-house defacing or removing this ticket or disobeying the above Rules and Instructions, will be liable to the several penalties in that behalf provided by the Bye-laws for regulating Lodging- houses, a copy whereof may be obtained on application at the Office of the Town Clerk, at the Municipal Offices, Dale Street. By order of the Health Committee. At the end of 1894 there were on the register a total of 723 lodging- houses, and at the end of 1895 the total number was 705, which furnished accommodation for 14,186 lodgers, besides 2,328 members of the keepers’ families. The difference in the number of lodging-houses was occasioned by the removal of 197 old licenses and the addition of 179 new ones. The diminution in the number of common lodging-houses fs qne partly to the falling-off in the emigration trade during the last few years, and partly to the fact that larger houses, commonly referred to as “ model lodging-houses,” with somewhat better accommodation, are being opened, and the business of the smaller ones extinguished. The number of the so-called “ model lodging-houses ” for men only upon the register is 114, and these are registered to accommodate 5,719 lodgers, as well as 225 members of the keepers’ families. There are also 26 registered model lodging-houses for the accommodation of women only. These have room for 663 lodgers, in addition to 36 members of the keepers’ families. The visits to lodging-houses are both by day and by night. The night visits are almost restricted to the lower districts and commoner class of house. The lodging and emigration houses of the better class, especially those provided only with single beds for each person, and with no more beds than are equivalent to the number of lodgers allowed, are only occasionally visited at night, unless special circumstances necessitate a closer supervision. Houses which are not licensed either as lodging or sub-let houses are frequently visited by day when such a course is deemed expedient, in order to ascertain whether any grounds exist for putting these houses on the register. There were 849 visits paid during the year to such houses, and in two of the cases, where suspicion was confirmed, night visits were also paid, and the tenants summoned and fined. Persons harbouring lodgers in unlicensed premises receive a notice to apply to have the rooms measured and licensed. There were 147 such notices issued during the year, but in only two was it necessary to institute a prosecution. The number of day visits paid during the year was 80,027, and the night visits, 614. One hundred and fifty informations were laid against keepers of common lodging-houses during the year for the following offences :— Not sweeping floors ... ... ... ... 51 Not washing floors ... ... ... ... 50 Overcrowding ... ... ... ... ... 31 Receiving lodgers in unlicensed rooms ... 6 Not applying to register .. ... ... 2 Mixing sexes ... ... ... ... ... 8 Not limewashing ... ... ... ... 7 Total ... ... 150 Convictions followed in 143 cases, the total amount of fines amounting to £31 8s. 0d., and ranging from Is. and Is. costs to 10s. and costs. Seven cases were acquitted and one withdrawn. The number of lodging-houses found dirty was 142 ; notices were served to limewash and cleanse. The Bye-law requires that every case of infectious sickness in a lodging-house should be at once reported to the Medical Officer of Health. Twenty-four cases of Fever occurred in lodging-houses ; 19 of the patients were at once sent to hospital, the remaining 5, being members of the keepers’ families, were not removed ; six cases of Smallpox occurred in lodging-houses and were all removed to hospital ; 3 cases of Diphtheria also occurred in lodging-houses, one was removed and two were not removed; one of these latter died. In all cases of Fever or Infectious Disease, the bedding was removed to the disinfecting apparatus and the rooms purified and cleansed. There were 82 deaths from non- contagious diseases in lodging-houses, of which 49 belonged to the keepers’ families and 33 were lodgers. SEAMEN’S LICENSED LODGING HOUSES. The Corporation have made bye-laws, with the sanction of the President of the Board of Trade, for the licensing of Seamen’s Lodging Houses, under the Merchant Shipping (Fishing Boats) Act, 1883, section 48, which enacts that ‘ The Sanitary Authority within whose district any seaport town is situate may, “ with the sanction of the President of the Board of Trade, from time to time, “ make, revoke, alter, and amend bye-laws and regulations relating to Seamen’s “ Lodging Houses in such town, which shall be binding upon all persons and u bodies keeping houses in which seamen are lodged, and the owners thereof, “ and persons employed therein. Such bye-laws and regulations shall, amongst “ other things, provide for the licensing of Seamen’s Lodging Houses, the ‘ inspection of the same, the sanitary conditions of the same, the publication of “ the fact of a house being licensed, the due execution of the bye-laws and regulations, and the non-obstruction of persons engaged in securing such execution, the preventing of persons not duly licensed holding themselves out as keeping or purporting to keep licensed houses, and the exclusion from “ licensed houses of persons of improper character, and sufficient penalties for the breach of such bye-laws and regulations not exceeding in any case the sum of fifty pounds. All offences under such bye-laws and regulations shall be “ deemed to be offences within the Merchant Shipping Acts, 1854 to 1883, and “ be punishable accordingly.”—And on the written application of the keeper of any registered common lodging house or registered lodging house, made in such form and stating such particulars as the Council require, the Council will, if they see fit, grant to such keeper a license authorizing him to designate his registered house a Seamen’s Licensed Lodging House. Applications from the keepers of Registered Common Lodging-houses for licenses authorizing the designation of such Registered Common Lodging-houses as Seamen’s Licensed Lodging-houses, have been very few, only twelve such Licensed Lodging-houses now being on the register, with accommodation for 223 seamen. The bye-laws must necessarily exercise a beneficial effect upon those houses which are licensed as Seamen’s Licensed Lodging-houses, but the great bulk of common lodging-houses to which seamen commonly resort are not regulated under these bye-laws, but are dealt with by regulations under the Common Lodging-houses Act of 1851. The number of licenses granted since the adoption of the Seamen’s Licensed Lodging-house Bye-laws is 22. Ten have been given up and none withdrawn, which leaves 12 at present on the register. It has not been found necessary to institute proceedings under the bye-laws in question. Some years ago the holders of licenses to keep Seamen’s Lodging- houses were authorized by the Board of Trade to board vessels and seek for lodgers, and while this privilege was granted there was an advantage in holding such a license, but that privilege being now withdrawn, it does not appear that there is any advantage to the keeper of a common lodging-house to have his premises registered as a Seamen’s Lodging- house, and hence probably the small number upon the register. SUB-LET HOUSES. These are houses, one or more rooms of which are let off to members of one or more other families. The Bye-laws provide for their registration and inspection to prevent overcrowding and ensure attention to cleanliness and sanitary requirements. The number registered during 1895 was 1,272, making the total on the Register on the 31st December, 19,073. The number of visits paid during the night was 13,745, and during the day 76,123, with the result of finding 1,967 rooms overcrowded. In addition to overcrowding, the cases of permitting males and females not married to occupy the same room comes under the notice of, and are entered in the books of the Inspectors. There were 608 rooms thus indecently occupied. The character of the indecent occupation may be judged of from the following facts:—In 341 instances one man and two women were found in the same bedroom; in 191 instances two men and one woman; in 29 instances two men and two women ; in 20 instances one man and three women; in 13 instances three men and one woman; in 2 instances three men and two women ; in 6 instances two men and three women; in 3 instances one man and four women; in 1 instance four men and one woman; and in 2 instances two men and four women. These cases are most common amongst the poorest and most ignorant inhabitants of the most squalid districts. They appear to be the outcome of ignorance and indifference, and not of immoral intent. Informations were laid against 2,254 chief tenants for breaches of the byelaws, with the following results 1,925 fined Is. and Is. costs; 230 fined Is. 6d. and Is. 6d. costs; 54 fined 2s. and 2s. costs; 17 fined 2s. 6d. and 2s. 6d. costs; 11 fined 5s. and 4s. 6d. costs; 3 fined 10s. and 4s. 6d. costs ; 1 fined 20s. and 4s 6d. costs ; and 1 fined 40s. and 4s. 6d. costs ; making a total of fines levied during the year of £251 18s. Od. Of the remaining 12 cases, 6 informations were withdrawn and 6 acquitted, the tenants having complied with the bye-laws. CANAL BOATS. The number of inspections of Canal Boats during the year was 5,178, and the condition of the boats and their occupants as regards matters dealt with in the Acts and Regulations is indicated by the following information :— Forty-eight boats, not registered by their present owners, were found to be used as dwellings. In 11 of these cases written notices were sent to the owners, and in 37, verbal notices were given to masters. In 44 cases the boats were registered in compliance with the notices, and in 2 the registration was not completed on December 31st, 1 had ceased to he used as a dwelling, and 1 has not been seen since. Thirty-four boats were found without certificates on board. Notices were sent to the owners in each case, and 33 were found abated, and 1 has not been seen since. Twenty-five were found not having the registered number painted on both sides of the boat. Notices were sent to the owners in each case, and the omission rectified in 23 cases. Two notices have not yet expured. In 176 cases cabins used as dwellings were found in a dilapidated and insanitary state, caused by leaky decks (116), general leaky condition of boats (30), no doors to lockers (3), broken scuttle covers (1), defective ventilation (10), and broken floors (7). In every case notices were sent to the owners. 170 were complied with, and the remaining 6 had not been re-inspected, having left the canal. In 34 cases defective second bulkheads were reported. Notices were sent in each case, and the defects have been found remedied in 32 cases, and 2 of the boats have not been seen since. In 63 boats the cabins required painting. Notices were sent to owners in each case, 58 of them have been attended to, and 5 of the boats have not yet been seen again by the Inspector. Dirty cabins were reported in 13 cases. Six verbal notices given to masters, and 7 written notices sent to the owners. In all cases the requisite cleaning was done. Informations were laid in 5 cases, for infringements of the Acts and Regulations, viz. :—causing unregistered boat to be used, 1 ; nonseparation of sexes, 2 ; carrying offensive cargo, and not having a second bulkhead, 1 ; overcrowding, 1. In all of the cases fines were inflicted, varying from Is. and Is. costs, to 10s. and 4s. 6d. costs, and amounting to a total of £2 10s. 6d. Only one case of infectious sickness, namely, Scarlet Fever, occurred on boats during the year. The patient was removed to hospital, the boat disinfected, and notice served on the owner to cleanse. Thirty-three notices were sent to the School Board, of children living- on canal boats and not attending any school. The number of boats on the register is 629, of which 281 have been re-registered, viz. :—5 in 1884, 60 in 1885, 21 in 1886, 25 in 1887, 20 in 1888, 24 in 1889, 23 in 1890, 23 in 1891, 16 in 1892, 19 in 1893, 26 in 1894, and 19 in 1895. A considerable number of boats remain on the register, although they have not been seen within the district for a considerable time, and it is probable that some of them have been broken up, whilst others are not likely to return, or their names may have been changed, and the boats registered at other places. Nevertheless, in the absence of means of making corrections, the boats remain upon the register. During the year, 25 new boats were registered, and 19 re-registered, on account of changes of owners. All boats re-registered in consequence of a change of owners, or the name of the boat being changed, retain their numbers, instead of being allotted new numbers, as heretofore. New certificates were issued to 2 boats, owing to structural alterations. There were 42 changes of masters reported, and the fact duly recorded —- c on the register.

DISINFECTION OF HOUSES. In all cases of infectious disease the houses were disinfected by a trained staff, free of cost, with sulphurous gas; but whenever there was sickness in any room of the house, so as to endanger health by the use of sulphurous gas, disinfectants were given to the tenants for use in the sick room until the sulphurous gas could be used safely. No house is considered properly disinfected until sulphurous gas has been used. The existence of sickness, and the consequent employment of carbolic acid powder, necessitate many visits by the persons in charge of disinfection. There were in all 8,608 visits paid during the year to houses for the purpose of disinfection, the number of houses properly disinfected being 3,828. For the removal of the patients to hospital, and for the removal of infected bedding, and its return after disinfection, an adequate ambulance staff is maintained. Four ambulance carriages are in use for the different forms of infectious disease. Bedding and clothing after disinfection are taken home by a staff and conveyance entirely distinct from that which removed them in the infected state. Fever. j § j Oh 1 Erysipelas. Total.

Patients were removed, by Officers of the Ambulance Staff to tbe undermentioned Hospitals :— Netherfield Road. Grafton Street. Park Hill. Brownlow Hill. Mill Lane. Priory Road. 550 850 398 26 93 93 In accordance with the arrangements made with the School Board, 4,337 postcards were sent to the Head Masters of the various schools, informing them that children from infected houses attended their schools. Similar information was sent to the School Board. All cases of Smallpox and all cases of Typhus Fever, with very rare exceptions, are removed to Hospital, and a special Inspector is appointed to visit the house from which the patient has been removed, to ascertain whether any further sickness has developed. These inquiries are made at intervals of a day or two for one month, and any case of sickness, however trifling it may appear to be, is at once reported to, and visited by, the Medical Officer. By these inquiries many cases of infectious sickness are discovered and removed to the hospital at the earliest possible stage of the disease, and often before any serious risk of infection has arisen. Without these inquiries, which have occasioned no inconvenience to anyone, the patients would have remained at home for a longer or shorter period, constituting centres of infection to the neighbourhood. The relatively large proportion of the cases of Smallpox discovered in this manner, is ample evidence of the value of the system, and the absence of friction sufficiently indicates the care exercised by the Inspectors in carrying it out. On January 23rd, Catharine Coyle was fined 40s. and costs for failing to notify the Medical Officer of Health of the existence of a case of Smallpox. On February 6th, Sarah Ann Allan was summoned for a similar offence, and was ordered to pay costs. On December 11th, J. Frederick York was fined £5 and costs for transmitting infected bedding from No. 20, Alderson Road, to No. 10, High Street, Waver tree. THE DISINFECTING APPARATUS.

As a matter of convenience in administration, Typhus Fever, of which there is comparatively little, is treated at Netherfield Road Hospital, whilst the relatively few cases of Diphtheria occurring in the City are treated in Grafton Street Hospital. Provision is made in both these Hospitals for the treatment of Scarlet Fever and Typhoid Fever from any part of the City, and also at Mill Lane, and the convalescents are drafted away, as circumstances require, to Parkhill Hospital. Patients suffering from Measles are treated at the Walton Hospital, Priory Road. The Hospitals (Committee have resolved to increase the accommodation for patients at Netherfield Road Hospital by fifty beds, and improvements are being carried out in connection with the approaches to the Hospital, the nurses’ home, and other matters. The following tables, prepared by the House Surgeon of each Hospital, show the number of patients, the nature of the illness, and the results, at each of the three City Hospitals during the year 1895 :— CITY HOSPITAL NORTH, NETHERFIELD ROAD.

Resident Physician, Dr. ROBINSON. It will be observed that only 566 cases were admitted during the year into the City Hospital North, as against 928 cases into City Hospital South, Giafton Street, and 484 into the Parkhill Convalescent Hospital. Ibis is accounted for by the fact that important structural alterations were being carried on at the Netherfield Road establishment, which necessitated closing a number of beds for Scarlet Fever and Typhoid. In estimating the severity of the two principal diseases treated at the City Hospitals—Scarlet Fever and Typhoid—it is well to group together all the cases admitted of each disease into all the hospitals during the year, for the larger the number the more reliable will be the result respecting the type of disease prevailing during the whole year. Thus, in the City Hospital North, the mortality among the 245 admissions of Scarlet Fever was much lower than usual, whereas in the 700 cases admitted into the South Hospitals, it was higher. Had the same mortality obtained among the Scarlet Fever cases at the North Hospital, as did among those at the South Hospitals, 12 more deaths would have occurred. On the other hand, had the same mortality obtained among the 804 cases of Typhoid admitted into the Hospitals South, as obtained among the 112 cases admitted to the North Hospital, 11 more deaths would have occurred. It would appear that a larger proportion of severe cases of Scarlet Fever were admitted to the South Hospitals, and a larger proportion of severe cases of Typhoid into the North Hospital.
