Croydon Rural District Council.
HEALTH REPORT FOR 1907.
Gentlemen,
I beg to submit to you my tenth Annual Report
upon the Health and Sanitary condition of the District,
Appended are the statistical tables, and the report
on the working of the Factory and Workshops Act, in
accordance with the requirements of the Home Office.
The Death Rate is extremely low, being only 9.7;
the Birth Rate is also low, being 24 6 per thousand of
population.
The year 1907, generally speaking, has been a fairly
healthy one, with no very 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.
6th February, 190S.
