HEALTH REPORT
of the
Croydon Rural District
1896.
To the Members of the Croydon Rural District Council.
I have the honour to present to you the Annual
Health Report and Statistical Tables for the year 1896, in
accordance with the Orders of the Local Government
Board.
Apart from the accounts of the health of the District,
as shown by the mortality and prevalence of infectious
disease, the most important question referred to is, perhaps,
the drainage of Kenley, which, owing to the magnitude of
the public interests involved, and the fear that the water
supplies of a large population are in danger, requires careful
consideration.
I have the honour to remain,
Your obedient servant,
L. W. DARRA MAIR, M.D. (Lond.), D.P.H.,
Medical Officer of Health.
January, 1897,
