Annual Report - 1917
To the Chairman and Members of the Uxbridge Urban
District Council.
Gentlemen,
Owing to the death in December last of Dr. F. E. Walker, who was acting
as deputy to Dr. J. L. Lock, the compilation of this the report on the Public Health
of the Urban District of Uxbridge, has been, you will understand, a difficult matter.
In January, 1918, I came to Uxbridge and was appointed by you to act as
your Medical Officer of Health until the return of Dr. I.ock. I have carefully
gone through the details and statistics which have been kept by Mr. Paige, and I
herewith lay before you the Annual Report for the year ended December 31st, 1917.
According to the instructions contained in a Circular issued by the Local
Government Board dated January 19th, 1917, I have curtailed this report to a
certain extent, but I feel that nothing really essential has been omitted.
