Borough of Mitcham
HEALTH REPORT FOR 1937
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors, Borough of Mitcham.
Sir, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have pleasure in submitting my annual report for the year
ended December 31, 1937.
From the report it will be seen that the birth rate is still
falling and the death rate is also lower than last year.
The number of overcrowded houses has been reduced, but at
the end of the year there were still 118 houses overcrowded
according to the standards laid down in the Housing Act, 1936.
I record my appreciation of the support given me by all
members of the Council, and especially those on the Public Health
and on the Maternity and Child Welfare Committees.
To the members of my staff I would once again express my
thanks for their loyal support and co-operation.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Yours obediently,
A. T. TILL,
Medical Officer of Health.
Public Health Dept.,
Mitcham Court,
Mitcham,
