ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Medical Officer of Health
OF THE BOROUGH OF HAMMERSMITH,
For the year 1902.
Public Health Department,
Town Hall,
Hammersmith.
January, 1903.
Gentlemfn—I beg to present to you my Annual
Report for last year. The Report will deal with the
vital statistics, and with the Sanitary work carried out
under the direction of your Council during the 53 weeks
ending on Jactuary 3rd, of the present year.
The statistics in this report will, in consequence of
the new directions issued by the Local Government
Board and the 4 new prescribed forms, be on the same
basis as those published in the previous year's report.
The deaths of non-Burgesses have been deducted,
and the deaths of Burgesses occurring in other parts of
London have been added, in accordance with the Local
Government Board direction. Deaths of persons
occurring in institutions receiving sick and infirm
persons alone have been regarded for the purpose of
correction.
