Town Hall,
Fulham, S.W.6.
July, 1934.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Metropolitan Borough of Fulham.
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit my Annual
Report on the Vital Statistics and the Sanitary
Condition of the Borough for the year 1933.
I wish to convey my thanks to the members
of the Staff for their loyal services and to my
colleagues in other departments for their willing
co-operation.
I desire to take this opportunity of thanking
the chairmen and members of the Public Health
and Maternity and Child Welfare Committees for
the valuable support they have given me, and I
also wish to thank the members of the Voluntary
Societies who have been so intimately associated
with me in the course of their work, especially
the Charity Organisation Society and the Invalid
Children•s Aid Association, who have both done a
vast amount of visiting and other work on behalf
of the Council in connection with cases of tuberculosis
and maternity and child welfare. The
members of the Committees of the Fulham Babies'
Hospital and the Fulham Day Nursery have also
contributed largely to the success of the Maternity
and Child Welfare work.
I have to record with deep regret the death
on 7th November, 1933, of the Founder of the
Day Nursery, Mr. C. Frank Stoop. Mr. Stoop
was a very great friend to the Nursery and his
death was a great loss.
The helpful co-operation of Head Masters
and Mistresses of schools and of teachers has been
most valuable,
