To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Borough of Twickenham.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I submit herewith my Report for 1936 on the health
and sanitary conditions of the late Teddington Urban
District, together with vital statistics.
The health of the District during 1936 was very satisfactory.
The incidence of infectious disease was slight
and the general death rate figure low. It is particularly
gratifying to report that the Infantile Mortality Rate fell
to the remarkably low figure of 28 per 1,000 and, further,
that there were no Maternal Deaths.
I am pleased to acknowledge gratefully the support
accorded to me in my work by the members of the Council,
the valuable assistance of lady voluntary workers at the
Clinics, and the loyal help given to me by all the members
of my Staff.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
John Young
