To the Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors of the
Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury.
His Worship the Mayor:
Councillor W. R. Corke, 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 1914. For the sake of uniformity, the
method of arrangement adopted in previous reports has, in
the main, been adhered to. The present report deals at some
length with the subjects of Infant Welfare, Infant Mortality,
Tuberculosis and Measles.
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.

Town Hall, Rosebery Avenue, E.G.
