To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the
Borough of Homsey.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present to you my Annual Report
for 1926 on the health of the Borough of Hornsey. The Report
is less comprehensive than that for 1925, which was a survey
report , and recorded the work done and the progress made during
the preceding five years.
The importance to health of open spaces in a developed
area such as Hornsey is very great. I have called attention in
the commencement of this report to the extent of these spaces,
and have inserted a small map showing their relative positions
in the Borough.
On page 15 will be found a short housing and social survey
of two adjoining areas, to which attention is particularly
directed.
My thanks are again due to the Chairmen of the Public
Health Committee and of the Maternity and Child Welfare
Committee for their consideration and help, and to Dr. Prior,
Mr. Thorpe and Mr. Gilroy for their ungrudging assistance at
all times.
I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
WILSON JAMESON,
Medical Officer of Health.
