REPORT,
1871.
To the Board of Works for the Wandsworth District.
Gentlemen,
In accordance with your instructions, and in compliance
with Section 132 of the Metropolis Local Management
Act, we beg to submit the Annual Report on the
health and sanitary condition of the Wandsworth District
for the year 1871.
Separate papers, having reference to the several Subdistricts,
are contributed by each member of our local
association, and the local statistical tables have been further
collated and arranged in an Appendix, with the view
of rendering them, as usual, equally applicable to the
entire District.
Thus constructed, we may be permitted to hope the
present Report (the sixteenth issued since 1855) will be
found to furnish not only as great an amount of information,
but to be equally as serviceable in indicating sanitary
progress as any that have preceded it.
We have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your very obedient Servants,
The Medical Officers of Health of the
Wandsworth District.
