Medical Officers of Health Annual Report.
The last table is the usual summary of sanitary
operations in the district. It shows that a very large
number of nuisances has been dealt with, and the fact
that it was only necessary to apply to the magistrates
in 72 instances out of 4385 in which a notice was served,
shows how much successful patience is expended in
getting necessary work carried out.
