Chiswick Urban District Council.
Public Health Department,
Town Hall.
To the Chairman and Members of the Chiswick
Urban District Council.
Gentlemen,
I beg to submit my Annual Report for the
year 1911, and in doing so, I am able to report that
the general health of the district has been fairly
maintained and that no epidemic of a very serious
nature, conducive to a high rate of mortality, has
prevailed during the period embraced by the statistics
given.
The deaths from zymotic disease, which may always
be taken as a fair test of the sanitary condition of a
locality, compare very favourably with any preceding
year, more especially taking into consideration the
annual increase of population.
The population at the last general census taken
in April was found to be 38,705 compared with
that of 1801, when it was 3,233, the increase in
the century and a decade amounting to 35,472.
