In conclusion, I may say that the health of the District continues
to be fairly satisfactory. The special point to be noted is the diminution
of the amount of infectious disease that has occurred, especially
as regards Scarlet Fever. And I think we may consider that the boon
conferred on our district by the increased accommodation afforded by
our Fever Hospital has been in no small way responsible for this result.
I hope that the points I have mentioned concerning Tuberculosis
may have the best attention of your Council in order that this District
may be among the first to take measures to prevent the spread of this
disease.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
A. F. PESKETT,
Medical Officer of Health.
