MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS.
Your Medical Officer of Health examined 20 persons
as to their fitness to hold office under the Corporation.
All were approved, with two exceptions. Eleven
officers were also medically examined with a view to
their retirement, and of these ten were reported to be
unfit for duty.
GENERAL.
The usual appendices setting out particulars of
causes of deaths, the location of infectious diseases,
and the lists of the various registered premises, are
appended to the Report.
I desire to express my indebtedness to the Members
of my Staff who still remain on duty for assistance
in these troublous times. They have continued their
work under somewhat trying circumstances, and
in several branches the work has materially increased.
All have accepted their increased responsibilities with
cheerfulness.
I have the honour to remain,
Your obedient Servant,
WILLIAM J. HOWARTH,
Medical Officer of Health for the City of London.
