166 Report of the Medical Officer of Health.
The total number of house-to-house inspections made was
7,007, compared with 5,575 in 1908, 5,718 in 1907, 5,686 in 1906,
and 6,290 in 1905. There has been an increase in the number of
house-to-house inspections in Clapham North and South, Streatham,
Balham, Tooting, and Fairfield Wards, and a decrease in
Putney, Southfield, and Springfield Wards.
In Tooting alone the number increased from 226 in 1908 to
769 in 1909, and in Streatham from 404 to 741, this being due to
the fact that an additional Inspector was appointed at the close
of the year 1908.
