Mortuary Accommodation. In the case of two districts attention is called to the need of mortuary accommodation. In one of these, namely, Uxbridge (Urban), the matter has been referred to in the annual reports for a number of years past, and on reference to the report for the County for the year 1897 it appears that the District Council had decided that it was advisable to provide a mortuary, but no steps apparently were taken to carry this decision into execution. The references by the Medical Officers, of Health are as follows u—. Uxbridge (Urban).—“I feel it my duty to again draw your attention to the need there is for a Public Mortuary.” «. v Staines (Rural).—u Although the Infectious Diseases Prevention Act is in force some of the most important villages are still without proper mortuary accommodation, which to a certain extent prevents the proper carrying out of the Act.”
