Public Health Department,
Town Hall,
Marylebone Road, N.W.1.
6th May, 1932.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Metropolitan Borough of
St. Marylebone.
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour as Medical Officer of Health to submit my annual report
on the Health of the Borough of St. Marylebone during the year 1931.
In accordance with the instructions of the Ministry of Health it is mainly a
recor 1 of the happenings of the year and contains less of detail than did its predecessor
of 1930, which was of course a "Survey Report." In carrying out the
work to which reference is made and the various duties entrusted to me, I received
as always every kindness and the fullest possible help and support from the Public
Health Committee and the Chairman, Dr. C. A. Fuller. These things I very
greatly appreciate, and would here express my grateful recognition and thanks,
as I do also to the staff of the department, who, as always, worked steadily and
well and showed a real devotion to the important duties they are required to
perform.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
CHARLES PORTER,
Medical Officer of Health.
