Public Health Department,
Town Hall, Ealing, W.
March 2nd, 1914.
To the Chairman and Members or the
Public Health Committee.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour of submitting my Annual Report
(the thirty-ninth) for the year 1913, relative to the
vital statistics, with a general statement of the sanitary
conditions and work carried out during this period.
On the whole, I believe it will be found a favourable
record, but owing to an unforeseen incidence of Infectious
Disorders (especially during the last quarter of
the year), it is not quite so good as I hoped it would
have been. A reference to the accompanying Tables
and forms gives evidence that a large amount of useful
sanitary work has been performed, and it can be
stated that this has been accomplished with little, or
no friction or opposition, and that our usual excellent
sanitary position has been well maintained.
I have been, as usual, most ably assisted by Mr.
Hill, the Chief Sanitary Inspector, and his competent
assistants, and thus a very considerable amount of useful
work has been effected. I refrain from giving
details under this head, as full particulars will be found
in the Sanitary Inspector's Report.
