![Isolation Hospitals, Small Pox. Arrangements have been made with the County Council for the removal of cases of this disease if they should occur in the Borough. So far we have been particularly fortunate in not having an outbreak of any size, but with the large number of visitors coming into the town from infected areas it will not surpise me if the disease is imported into the town. This event might stimulate the parents to have their children vaccinated. I should say that, roughly speaking, two-thirds of these are unvaccinated and when one knows that there have been nearly 300 cases of small pox occuring in one week throughout the country, one does no,t like to think what it would mean if it got implanted among us. Infectious Diseases. These are isolated at the Fever Hospital, Bempton Lane, where there are 40 beds (including the observation block). Borough Sanitorium for Infectious Diseases.
