Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit, herewith the Annual Report of
the Public Health and Sanitary conditions of the Borough of
Finsbury for the year 1905. It is drawn up in accordance with
the instructions of the Local Government Board, and contains
a record of the work of the Department, as carried out under the
Public Health Committee. A Report on Factories and Workshops,
required by the Home Office, is incorporated. The
Report is arranged, for convenience, in the usual sections.
1 desire to take the opportunity of expressing my grateful
appreciation of the continued support and assistance I have
received from the Chairman and Members of the Public Health
Committee of the Council during the year. I am glad also to
have the opportunity of most heartily acknowledging the work
and loyal co-operation of the staff of the Department. The
excellence of their work is evident in the record of the Report.
I am,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
