Gentlemen,
We have the honour to present our Annual Report

spite of conditions, such as the Influenza epidemic,
tending to raise the mortality and increase the amount
of sickness; the statistics and statements that follow
show that the District has maintained during the year
a most satisfactory state of healthiness, which compesar
very favourably with previous years.
We have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servants,
