Public Health Office,
24, Somerset Street,
London, W.,
9th June, 1911.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Metropolitan
Borough of St. Marylebone.
Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,
In accordance with the instructions of the Local Government Board, I beg
to submit the following Report for the year 1910 on the public health and
sanitary condition of the Borough of St. Marylebone.
From the public health point of view the year was a most satisfactory one.
In many respects also it was a noteworthy one, the additions to the staff of
inspectors having permitted of a greater amount of work being carried out than
in any previous year.
Statistical and other evidence is brought forward in the following pages to
show that what was done was to the immediate advantage of the public health,
and as time goes on it will doubtless be possible to show that a lasting effect
also has been produced.
The Public Health Committee, with Councillor the Rev. J. A. Beaumont,
M.A., for the fourth year in succession in the chair, and Mr. Alderman J.
Lea-Smith again Chairman of the Dust Sub-Committee, took the keenest
interest in the work and on all occasions gave me the greatest assistance and
encouragement, and I take this opportunity of thanking them most sincerely
and also of recording my high appreciation of the loyal manner in which all the
members of the staff of the department, new as well old, have worked throughout
the year.
I am,
Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
CHARLES PORTER,
Medical Officer of Health.
