To the Chairman and Members of the Penge Urban District
Council.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit herewith my Annual
Report for the year ending 31st December, 1904.
In the early part of the year Mr. G. H. Widger was
appointed Assistant Inspector, and commenced his duties
on the 15th February.
Amongst other things, three items are worthy of
special note:—
(1) The small number of infectious cases notified
during the year.
(2) The progress of the House to House inspection.
(3) The number of defective drains removed and
new drains laid.
