To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the
Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury.
His Worship the Mayor:
Alderman Arthur Millward, 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 1909. 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.
Since my appointment I have 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. I wish also
to thank the staff and officials of the Health Department for the
excellent work done and help given, and the staffs of the other
Departments for their kindly assistance and co-operation,
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
A. E. THOMAS,
Medical Officer of Health.
Public Health Department,
Town Hall, Rosebery Avenue, E.C.
