Croydon Rural District Council.
HEALTH REPORT FOR 1905.
Miss Boobbyer and Gentlemen,
I beg to submit to you my eighth Annual Report
upon the Health and Sanitary condition of the District.
Appended are certain special reports, together with
statistical tables, and the report on the working of the
Factory and Workshop Act, in accordance with the
requirements of the Home Office.
The Death Rate, 9.6, is much lower than in any
previous year during which I have been your Medical
Officer. The Birth Bate is also extremely low being
25.7 per thousand of estimated population.
The year 1905, generally speaking, has been a fairly
healthy one, with no serious outbreaks of epidemic
disease.
It is with pleasure that I have again to place on record
the kind help and assistance which I have received from
the Council and all its officers with whom my work
has brought me into contact.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient servant,
C. M. FEGEN.
March 15, 1906.
