Comment has been made on various statistical figures in
the appropriate paragraphs, it is sufficient here to mention that
the death rate is lower than that for the Country as a whole,
and slightly lower than that for towns of similar size, and
that during the year under review the population has maintained
a good standard of health.
I again offer my thanks to the Members of the Council
for their interest and help in the work of my Department,
and I wish to record my appreciation for the loyal help and
co-operation of all the Members of my Staff.
I am,
Your obedient Servant,
A. WALLACE JOHNS,
Medical Officer of Health.
May, 1937.
