Council Offices,
HORNCHURCH,
Essex.
14th June, 1937.
To The Chairman and Members of the
Hornchurch Urban District Council.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour herewith to present my eleventh Annual Report
on the Vital Statistics and Sanitary Circumstances of the District.
The most important event of the year under review has been the promotion
of the Hornchurch private Act which received the Royal Assent
on the 31st July, 1936.
This Act is divided into 11 parts containing 172 sections and further
reference will be made in the body of the report to those parts of the Act
which contain provisions dealing with Public Health.
On the 1st April, 1936, a further accession to the district administered
by the Council occurred when a large part of the parish of North Ockendon
was included in Cranham Ward.
The year has been a healthy one and the District continues to attract
many new inhabitants.
I wish to thank the members of the Council for their continued support
in my work and to acknowledge the assistance which I have received from
my fellow officers.
ALFRED BALL, M.D., D.P.H.,
Medical Officer of Health.
