REPORT,
1876.
To the Board of Works for the Wandsworth District.
Gentlemen,
We have the honour to present the twenty-first
Annual Report upon the health and sanitary condition of
the Wandsworth District.
We have considered it undesirable, even at the
commencement of a third decade, to make any material
alterations in the general plan, or the statistical tables, of
previous reports; as the advantages of comparison with
these would in great measure have to be sacrificed in
favour of any important innovations.
We trust the following pages will prove useful
and interesting to all who take cognisance of the sanitary
progress of our District; and be evidence to you that
your officers are endeavouring, to their best ability, to
fulfil the duties assigned to them.
We have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servants,
The Medical Officers of Health for
the Wandsworth District.
