Although there has been an increase of 1,292 in the number of
notifiable diseases, this increase is accounted for by an epidemic of
measles. 2,668 cases of this disease were notified during the year,
but most of the cases were mild and only three deaths occurred.
Only 16 cases of diphtheria occurred and there were no deaths
from this disease.
I am, Your Worship. Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
F. Gr. CALEY,
Medical Officer of Health.
