BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK.
Public Health Office,
Town Hall, Walworth Road.
Sir and Gentlemen,
I have the honour of submitting for your consideration my
Eighteenth Annual Report on the vital statistics and general sanitary
work of the Borough for the year 1904.
The year under consideration has been somewhat uneventful. With
the exception of Measles there has been no particular outbreak of infectious
disease. Indeed, it has been a record year for the small amount of
notifiable disease.
The death-rate of the year for a Borough so crowded as Southwark
must be considered satisfactory. The summary of the sanitary work
carried out shows that the Health Staff has been energetically and
usefully employed.
A few changes have taken place among the ward inspectors, some of
them having secured more lucrative appointments in other Boroughs.
I beg to thank the Public Health Committee for their support, and
the staff in general for their assistance in this highly interesting work.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient servant,
G. B. MILLSON,
Medical Officer of Health.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Borough of Southwark.
