January, 1910.
To the Chairman and Members of the Penge Urban District
Council.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to place before you my Annual
Report for the year ending the 31st December, 1909.
I have now completed ten years' service in the district,
being appointed in June, 1899, by the late Lewisham
Board of Works.
In former reports I have dwelt upon the various
branches of the work, but as nothing exceptional has been
carried out in the past year I have thought it sufficient
to record the work done.
On the 26th April, the Medical Officer of Health,
Dr. G. Roe-Carter suddenly passed away. Dr. Robert
Wilkinson was subsequently appointed, and in June
commenced duties as Medical Officer of Health.
For the first two months of the year I was without
an Assistant, owing to Mr. Widger obtaining another
appointment. Mr. Robert Ruttar, of Colne, was appointed
to fill the vacancy, and commenced duties on the 23rd
February.
638 premises, excluding those under the heading of
food trade inspections, factories and workshops, and
