TO THE HONOURABLE
THE COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit my
Annual Report for the year 1894.
The year has been one of increasing activity
in Public Health Administration owing to
recent changes in the law; notably the
"Public Health (London) Act, 1891,"-the
extension of the "Notification of Infectious
Diseases Act,"-the "Factory and Workshops
Acts,"-and the preparation of Bye-laws and
Regulations for the future conduct of the
Department in the City of London, etc., etc.
The variety of the work, as shewn in the
accompanying details, is considerable, and
attention may be drawn to the fact that, in
consequence of the stringent requirements of
recent legislation, a class of property has
been dealt with which formerly was left to the
resources of private persons.
