v.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the
Royal Borough of Kensington.
Ladies and Gentlemen,—
I have the honour to submit my fourth 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 1912.
Increased duties and responsibilities have been placed on the Council's Sanitary
Inspectors by their designation as the officers who are authorised to carry out the
requirements of the Housing (Inspection of District) Regulations, 1910, and the Rag
Flock Act, 1911. The clerical work of the office has also been materially increased by
the extension of compulsory notification to consumptive patients in every class of life.
In these circumstances I desire to take this opportunity of acknowledging the
zeal and loyalty with which the staff have worked, and of thanking the Council and
the Public Health Committee for the consideration and support they have extended to
the Department throughout the year.
I have the honour to be,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. E. SANDILA.NDS,
Medical Officer of Health.
Public Health Department,
Town Hall, Kensington, W.
31st March, 1913.
