In all three localities comprised in this sub-district, a number of sanitary
improvements in the way of drainage, water supply, removal of nuisances,
&c., (vide Table V., Appendix), have been carried out to the very great
benefit and comfort of the inhabitants, and to the vast improvement of the
several parishes concerned. In taking leave of the subject, I earnestly hope,
as I expressed in former reports, that a continuation of efforts in the same
direction may confer still further sanitary benefits upon this increasingly important
sub-district.
D. C. NOEL,
Mcdical Officer of Health for Slrealham,
Tooting, and Balham.
