of the
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH,
For the Year 1897.
To the Members of the Board of Works for the St. Olave District ,
Southwark.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to place before you ray
fourth Annual Report. This Report, in accordance with the
regulations of the Local Government Board, deals with the
twelve months ending December 31st, 1897.
The details of the Report show that much work has been
done in improving the Sanitary condition of the District.
A large amount of house-to-house inspections have been
effected during the year, and the Sanitary defects found have
been remedied. A systematic inspection of the Sanitary
arrangements of the Wharves has been commenced, and the
necessary notices served.
The registration and regulation of houses let in lodgings
has also been begun. During the year, twelve houses have
been registered. In December, six other houses were ordered
by the Board to be registered; but the registration was not
completed till this year.
