What has been said above with regard to the information which an
annual report should contain must bo understood not as suggesting that
the report should be limited to these subjects, or that more detailed or
differently arranged tabular statements may not be added, but as indicating
the sort of information required by the Board's Order. Many Medical
Officers of Health will doubtless with great advantage to the administration
of their districts furnish much more detailed information respecting
particular questions to which they have been led by the circumstances of
the foregoing years to devote attention, or in the investigation of which
they may have arrived at valuable conclusions. Any information of this,
kind will be appreciated by the Local Government Board.
