To the Mayor Aldermen and Councillors of the
Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury.
His Worship the Mayor:
Councillor H. B. Barton, J.P.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit to you the Annual Report on
the Public Health and sanitary condition of the Borough of
Finsbury for the year 1911. For the sake of uniformity, the
method of arrangement adopted in previous reports has, in
the main, been adhered to.
During 1911 special investigations have been made into
The Incidence of Phthisis in the Borough,
Infant Births,
Crowding and Overcrowding, and
The Home Conditions of Outworkers and Homeworkers.
The results of these inquiries are embodied in the present
report.
In presenting this review of last year's work I wish to thank
the Council and the Chairman and Members of the Public Health
Committee for their ever-willing help, their encouragement and
support, and the Officials of the Health Department and of the
other Departments for their kind 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.
