To the Chairman and Members of the Finchley
Urban District Council.
Mr. Chairman, Mrs. Hardie, and Gentlemen,—
I beg to present the report on the health of the Finchley
Urban District for the year 1914.
The vital statistics continue to be very favourable.
The question of further isolation hospital accommodation
has received much consideration during the year, and
the Council has adopted a scheme for the erection of a hospital
in conjunction with the Urban District of Hendon.
There have been several changes in the staff. Mr.
Harland was appointed clerk to the place of Mr. Legg, who
resigned; and Mr. Newbery was appointed to the place of
Mr. Perry, who left to take up the appointment of Assistant
Sanitary Inspector at Ipswich. Mr. Harland and Mr. Eldred
are at present on leave, having joined the Military Forces.
I am greatly indebted to Mr. Overed, your Veterinary
Inspector, for his co-operation with the work of the department.
I have again to thank Mr. Franklin for his excellent
assistance; and the other members of the staff for the large
amount of work so willingly undertaken.
Your obedient servant,
J. R. PRIOR.
