v.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the
Royal Borough of Kensington.
Ladies and Gentlemen,—
I have the honour to submit my third annual report, which contains, in
accordance with the Regulations of the Local Government Board, a summary of the
action taken for the prevention of disease and an account of the sanitary state of the
Borough of Kensington during the year 1911.
Outbreaks of measles and epidemic diarrhoea have been responsible for an
excessive death-rate among the infant population and no provision has yet been made
for the cleansing of the large numbers of children who attend the elementary schools in
a verminous condition. Under these circumstances the record for the year cannot be
regarded as in all respects satisfactory,
I have the honour to be,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. E. SANDILANDS,
Medical Office?- of Health.
Public Health Department,
Town Hall, Kensington, W.
lst May, 1912.
