Greenford Urban District Council.
Annual Report for 1913.
Beaconsfield House,

District Council.

I have the honour to present my Annual Report on the
Public Health of your District during the past year.
The natural and social conditions of the District as well
as its Sanitary circumstances, Water Supply, conditions of
Rivers and Streams have undergone little or no change since
my last report.
Your Rate Collector informs me that there are now 252
houses in the District an increase of 14 on last year; as the
rate of population per house at the last Census was 4.7,

the number of inmates at Twyford Abbey Home for invalids,
viz., 60, as from the nature of the cases received into this
Institution it is obvious that there must be more than the
visual number of deaths than would occur among a similar
body of healthy people, and also because a great number of
these deaths are not transferred by the Registrar General
the patient having no other permanent place of residence:—
