Public Health Department
Manor House,
southall.
June, 1933.
To the Chairman and Members of the
Southall-Norwood Urban District Council.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
For the Fifth year in succession, it becomes my duty
to present the Annual Report on the health and sanitary
circumstances of this district.
By comparison over a number of years with 118 great
towns and cities and 132 smaller towns with populations
between 25,000 and 50,000 Southall shows a record consistently
good in the matter of the general health of its people
and an excellent standard of sanitation.
The Report is framed according to the instructions
issued by the Ministry of Health. It is therefore necessarily
mainly statistical.
The population of the Council's area, as estimated by
the Registrar-General to mid-1933 is 44,780, an increase of
3,250. The following table is appended for the sake of completeness,
showing the progressive growth since 1883 :—
