Road, Streatham, fulfils a want of long standing. Many
years ago I wroten a Report to the Board on the urgent
need of a Mortuary on the score of health and decency,
at that time the difficulty of site appeared to he insuperable
and the matter was postponed.
The present building was designed and built under
the direction of Mr. Marten, the Surveyor; it is a
substantial and handsome structure of its kind and very
complete in detail, in view of the requirements of a
largely augmented population in the future.
I have to thank the Sanitary Staff for their attention
and able assistance in all matters of sanitation. And
my cordial thanks are due to the Streatham Local
Committee for their invariable courtesy, and the support
I have always received at their hands.
F. P. SU IT ON, M.D.,
Medical Officcr of Health for Streatham.
