MATTERS CONSIDERED BY THE PUBLIC HEALTH
COMMITTEE
On Reports by the Medical Officer of Health.
At each fortnightly meeting of the Public Health Committee
a full statement as to the state of the health of Islington was
submitted, together with charts and maps showing the movement
of the several infectious diseases. A return showing the work
of the sanitary inspectors was also laid before them, and, indeed,
their books showing the number of notices outstanding were
examined. The very fullest information was placed before the
Committee so that the exact state of the district might be
understood.
The following among many other matters were brought under the consideration of the Committee on reports from me.
