Public Health Department,
Town Hall,
St. Marylebone, W.l.
6th June, 1935.
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 1934.
As 1935 is a "survey" year the report with regard to the happenings during
its course will be full and detailed. For that reason and in accordance with the
instructions of the Minister of Health the present report is more or less in the
nature of an outline. Even so I believe there will be found in it sufficient evidence
to show that good and valuable work was done by every member of the staff, and
to them for this reason and for the help they gave to me personally and the loyalty
they displayed, I desire to offer my sincere thanks. To the Public Health Committee
and its Chairman, Councillor G. B. Ramsay, appointed to this important
position in November, 1933, I am particularly grateful for the unfailing support
they gave me and the kindness and consideration they showed me on all occasions.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
CHARLES PORTER,
Medical Officer of Health,
