THE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MEDICAL
OFFICER OF HEALTH.

DISTRICT.
Gentleman,
I have the honour to submit to you my
Annual Report upon the Public Health, Sanitary Condition
and Vital Statistics of the District, for the Registration
Year ending the 31st December, 1898, a period of fifty-two
weeks.
I have proceeded in this report as far as possible on
the same lines as adopted in those of previous years.
Area.
The St. Giles District comprises an area of 245 Statute
acre3, nearly equally divided between the two parishes of
St. Giles-in-the-Fields, and St. George, Bloomsbury.
For civil registration purposes it has been formed by
the Registrar-General into three sub-districts, viz:—
1. St. George, Bloomsbury.
2. St. Giles, South.
3. St. Giles, North.
Houses.
No information was obtained at the quinquennial
enumeration in 1896 as to the number of inhabited houses.
