REPORT.
TO THE MAYOR, ALDERMEN AND COUNCILLORS OF THE
METROPOLITAN BOROUGH OF BETHNAL GREEN.
Sir and Gentlemen,
I have the honor to place before you my twenty-fifth Annual
Report as Medical Officer of Health for Bethnal Green. This
Report deals with the vital and mortal statistics of the year 1900.
It has been arranged that, during the currency of the registration
year, which terminated on the 31st day of December last, the
weekly records of the local registrars and also those of institution
deaths, supplied by the Somerset House Authorities, should be continued
on the old parochial basis. It must therefore be understood,
that though for the future we shall have no concern with the old
Ecclesiastical Parish of Saint Matthew, Bethnal Green, yet this
Report, for the last time, deals with its statistics.*
*EXTRACT FROM SCHEME UNDER THE LONDON
GOVERNMENT ACT, 1900.
4. The Registrar-General may at any time after the confirmation of this
Scheme, in accordance with the provisions of section twenty-one of the Births
and Deaths Registration Act 1874, make such alterations of the districts of
registrars as he thinks expedient in consequence of the alteration of the areas of
existing parishes and poor law unions by or under the Act, but the alterations
so made by the Registrar-General shall not take effect until the twenty-sixth
day of March, one thousand nine hundred and one.
