Public Health Department,
Town Hall, Haverstock Hill,
Hampstead, N.W.
10th Jnly, 1917.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Metropolitan Borough of Hampstead.
Mr. Mayor, Madam, and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to place before you the Medical Officer of
Health's Report for the year 1916.
From motives of economy and in accordance with the wishes of
the Local Government Board, the report this year is brief. This is
done to save labour and printing ; it must not be taken as indicating
any relaxation of the means usually adopted for safe-guarding the
Public Health. These measures have been efficiently maintained, and,
as the Report shows, the health of the Borough is highly satisfactory.
I wish to thank the Council and the Chairman and members of
the Public Health Committee for the kindly support and encouragement
that they always give me. I desire also to express my appreciation
of the earnest efforts of the Members of the staff (permanent and
temporary) of the Department whilst according me their assistance
and able co-operation.
I have the honour to be,
Mr. Mayor, Madam and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
FRANK E. SCRASE,
Medical Officer of Health.
