REPORT.
Gentlemen,
I have the pleasure to present the usual Annual
Report as required under the provisions of the Metropolis
Local Government Act. The Report contains
the vital statistics of the Hamlet, for the year ending
March 28th, 1868, together with a summary of the
proceedings in the health department of the Vestry
during the year. I have also made such brief remarks
upon some of the subjects as I have thought necessary
in the interest of the public health. I have endeavoured
so to arrange the tables that you may readily understand
the various subjects to which they refer. It is
gratifying to observe that the public health, judged by
the rate of mortality for the year, has been most
satisfactory, and if we go further and compare the
mortality of the Hamlet with that of the five great
divisions of the metropolis, the result is, in every case,
in our favour. (See Table IV.)
I have appended the Sanitary Inspector's Report,
showing the number of principal nuisances abated or
removed.
