Description

Unique IDA-00302975SeriesLetters Received, 1843-1899 [Municipal Council of Sydney]DateBetween 1st July 1878 and 2nd July 1878Date qualifierexactFormatVolume - HardcoverDescriptionMemo: City Health Officer & Inspector of Nuisances reporting on the problems associated with typhoid fever in the Elizabeth Bay area; stating they have examined a number of the homes listing the owners/occupiers and specific conditions there; the problem appears to be caused by Hannah Godworth's dairy in Ithaca Road which is not properly drained or set up for handling the milk. Her husband died of typhoid recently and a number of named occupants of the area either have the disease or have died from it, however, after inspecting the whole section they noted that none of their suggestions to improve conditions at the dairy had been completed. Their conclusions regarding sewerage, etc. include the suggestion that house rubbish in all parts of the City be removed daily and that street sweepings be removed.
