To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the
Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury.
His Worship the Mayor :
Councillor W. A. Dingle, M.D., J.P.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit herewith the Annual Report on
the Public Health and Sanitary condition of the Borough of
Finsbury for the year 1908. The instructions of the Local
Government Board, with regard to the Annual Reports of
Medical Officers of Health, have been followed in its construction,
and for the sake of uniformity the method of arrangement of the
contents in sections, adopted in previous reports, has, in the main,
been adhered to.
During the year I received the greatest consideration, assistance
and support from the Chairman and members of the Public Health
Committee of the Council, and I take this opportunity of tendering
my grateful thanks to them. At the same time I should like to
record my appreciation of the loyal way in which the members of
the Staff of the Department have supported me. They have done
excellent work and given me most valuable assistance.
I am,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
CHARLES PORTER,
Medical Officer of Health
Public Health Department,
Town Hall, Rosebery Avenne, E.C.
8th March, (1909).
