TO THE MAYOR, ALDERMEN AND COUNCILLORS
OF THE COUNTY BOROUGH OF WEST HAM.
Mr. Mayor. Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present to you the Annual Report
of the Public Health Department for the year 1924. Having
been appointed your Medical ()fficer of Health so recently as
September last, this, my first Annual Report, is chiefly confined
to statistical tables and the record of actual facts, as it would
be premature for me to attempt to enlarge on certain subjects
or to give considered opinions on various matters.
I hope, however, in my next Annual Report to publish a
full and detailed account of Public Health work as carried
out in this Borough, and also to be in a position to be able to
record some definite improvements and advances towards the
safeguarding and amelioration of the health of the inhabitants.
I am, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
F. GARLAND COLLINS.
M.R.C.S. (Eng.). L.R.C.P. (Loud.). D.P.H..
