70 Medical Officers of Health Annual Report.
All bake-houses have been inspected twice during
the year and found in a satisfactory condition with the
exception of three cases in which notices were served
and the necessary cleaning done.
On 30th October, I inspected four tenements in
Rotherwood Road, and was enabled to give a certificate
of exemption from inhabited house duty under the
Customs and Inland Revenue Act.
I may say, in conclusion, that the year has been one
of steady progress from a sanitary point of view. We
have been practically free from any epidemic of a
serious nature, with the exception of influenza. Had it
not been for this disorder our zymotic death-rate would
have been much lower.
All sanitary work has been carried out by the
various officers concerned with the greatest harmony
and good feeling.
To these officers, as well as the Putney Local
Committee, my thanks are due to the assistance and
support I have always received at their hands.
Wm. Y. ORR, M.B., C.M., D.P.II.,
Medical Officer of Health for Putney and Roehampton.
