OF THE
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH
OF THE
BOROUGH OF HAMMERSMITH
For the Year 1912.
Public Health Department,
Town Hall,
Hammersmith.
April 26th, 1913.
Gentlemen—I beg to present to you my Annual
Report for last year. The Report will deal with the
vital statistics, and with the Sanitary work carried
out under the direction of your Council during the
52 weeks ending on 28th December, 1912. The statistical
tables prescribed by the Local Government Board
are added, as well as the several other tables that
directly or indirectly relate to the Public Health of
the Borough.
The deaths of non-residents have been deducted,
and the deaths of residents occurring in other parts of
England have been added. Deaths of persons occurring
in institutions receiving sick and infirm persons, have
been regarded for the purpose of correction.
The Registrar-General has furnished me with a
list of transferable deaths, being residents of this
Borough who have died at various places in England.
This is a new method, which is done to assist in obtaining
as nearly as possible the correct death rate.
