To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the
Mertopolitan Borough of Islington.
I have the honour to submit the Annual Report on the Health and Sanitary
Conditions of the Borough for the year 1924.
Included are the statistical tables as prescribed by the Ministry of Health.
The draft Report was submitted to the Public Health Committee in June,
1S)25. The death-rate for 1924 was 12.3. (The lowest recorded in the Borough
records, which date from 1841, is that of the year previous 1923, 11.6.)
The Maternity and Child Welfare Scheme, both organisations, Municipal
and Voluntary, have worked in unison. The Infantile Mortality rate again—66
per 1,000 births—continues to be a record for Islington.
During the year, owing to the congestion at Clerkenwell Police Court, the
Borough Council supported the establishment of a Petty Sessions Court at the
Town Hall.
I am,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient S[???]nt,
Medical Officer of Health.
