Public Health Office,
20th February, 1908.
To the Worshipful The Mayor, the Aldermen and Councillors
of the Metropolitan Borough of St. Marylebone.
Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present to you a Report on the
health and sanitary condition of the Borough for the year 1907.
Your late Medical Officer of Health, Mr. Wynter Blyth,
had, at the date of my arrival, already prepared and tabulated
most of the figures, so that my own share of the task has been
but a light one. The statistical curves in the frontispiece are
the work of Mr. Wynter Blyth.
My knowledge of the district is not yet sufficient to enable
me to comment, except in the briefest and most tentative
manner, on the various items in the Report.
The arrangement of the Report has been varied slightly
and it is hoped that the present form will be found more
convenient.
I am,
Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
Meredith Young,
Medical Officer of Health.
