During the year there has been a steady and consistent
endeavour to remedy the various sanitary defects in the district,
to abate over-crowding, and to render the homes of the residents
fit for habitation; and though our death-rate has been a high
one from causes which I have endeavoured to explain, there is
the satisfaction of knowing that at the present time few if any
houses could be classed as insanitary or unfit for human
habitation.
Appended to this report will be found the tables of population,
births, deaths, and new cases of infectious diseases, as
required by the regulations of the Local Government Board.
A report of your Inspectors, giving a list of the work done
under their supervision during the year, is appended.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
JAMLS HEREON, M.D.,
Medical Officer of Health.
