During the year 1896, in addition to duties more immediately connected with the Public
Health and Housing Committees of the Council, the Public Health department was concerned in
enquiries arising out of a number of references from other committees of the Council, among which
the Reformatory and Industrial Schools, Asylums, Building Act, Appeal, Parliamentary, Local
Government, Parks and Open Spaces, and Water Committees may be mentioned.
In previous reports I have stated that the date on which an annual report relating to London
could be presented to the Council depended on the dates on which the annual reports of the medical
officers of health were received. The following table shows the month in which the reports for the year
were received—
