Gentlemen,
During the four weeks ending upon Saturday, the 20th instant, twenty.five deaths
have been registered.
The average death rate for the past five years, during this month, has been 29.2;
therefore, taking into consideration the increase of population, the number for the
present month is considerably below the average.
I am happy to be able to inform you that no death has taken place from epidemic
disease during the month.
One death (in the zymotic class) has taken place from erysipelas.
Measles has been epidemic in Sydenham.
Hooping cough is also endemic at the North Surrey District School.
The matters principally demanding your attention are—
The dilapidated state of some dwelling houses at Ladywell, also near Mr. Robinson's
mill at Lewisham.
The state of roads and drainage at "West Kent Park, Sydenham.
Also in the "Willow Road, where pigs are kept much to the annoyance of the adjoining
neighbours in Sydenham Park.
The drainage of Lower Sydenham.
The state of the road in Russell Street.
Meteorological tables and tables of mortality are appended as usual.

Gentlemen,
During the five weeks ending upon the 24th of November last, thirty.six deaths have
been registered.
The mortality of the district has been below the average, calculated for the last five
years, even without taking into consideration the increase of population.
