Public Health Department,
38, Sheen Road,
Richmond, Surrey.
March, 1926..
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Borough of Richmond (Surrey).
Ladies and Gentlemen,
1 have the honour to submit my Annual Report on the health
and sanitary condition of the Borough during the year ended
December 31st, 1925.
The Report is arranged on the lines suggested in Circular 648
from the Ministry of Health, and is intended to be a " special " or
survey report as distinguished from the reports of the preceding
five years, which were ' ordinary " reports.
The General Death Rate is lower than that of 1924, and
corrected for population is lower than that of England and Wales
as a whole.
The Birth Rate is slightly higher than that of 1924, but is still
below that of England and Wales.
The Infantile Mortality rate is slightly higher than the rate in
1924—in that- year it was the lowest ever recorded—but it remains
well below those of England and Wales and London.
1 am,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
C. S. BREBNER.
