Gentlemen,
I beg to present my Sixth Annual Report on
the Health and Sanitary circumstances of the Borough,
together with a Report of the Borough Hospital and Borough
Laboratory.
It will be seen that 1905 was a healthy year, especially
as far as infants under one year ef age were concerned, the
mortality at this age being only 96 per thousand as compared
with an average of 138 for the previous ten years.
My thanks are once more due to the Council and to
the Staff of the Public Health Department and Borough
Hospital, and especially to the successive Resident Medical
Officers for the assistance they have at all times afforded me.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
H. MEREDITH RICHARDS, M.D.
April 11th, 1906.
