I have to thank Mr. John McEwan, J.P., F.R. Met. Soc.,
who, as usual, has given me the benefit of his extensive knowledge
and long experience of Meteorology.
The accompanying table gives the result of our operations for
the year, in a condensed form:—

There are no local Acts. The following are the Adoptive Acts
in force in the District:—

It is very difficult, if not impossible, to give any detailed
account in this Report of the manner in which these Acts are administered,
but every advantage is taken of the powers given by
them to secure the improvement of the sanitary condition and
well-being of the district and its inhabitants.

have been filled in and will be sent with my Report to the Home
Office, Whitehall.
