Croydon Rural District Council.
HEALTH REPORT FOR 1909.
Gentlemen,
I beg to submit to you my twelfth Annual Report
upon the Health and Sanitary condition of the District.
Appended are the statistical tables, the report on
the working of the Factory and Workshops Act, in
accordance with the requirements of the Home Office,
and a tabulated list of all Dairies, Cowsheds, etc., situate
within the district.
The Death Rate, 9.0 per thousand of population, is
much lower than in any previous year which I have been
your Medical Officer. The Birth Rate is also very low
being 25 0 per thousand of population.
The year 1909, 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.
3rd February, 1910.
