REPORT
TO THE VESTRY OF PADDINGTON.
Vestry Hall;
July I, 1872.
Gentlemen,
In accordance with the requirements of
the Metropolis Local Management Act, I have the
honor of laying before you my fifth Annual Report
on the Sanitary condition of the Parish during the
year ending Lady-day last. I also avail myself of
the opportunity of again making notes and observations
on special sanitary matters, which I trust
are worthy of your consideration, and will be
hereafter found useful.
Besides the usual statistical statements now
extending over 5 years, showing the mortality from
certain forms of disease, which it may be remarked
sanitary authorities have more or less a power of
controlling or preventing, viz.:—the deaths from
zymotic diseases; deaths from the tubercular and
wasting diseases; and deaths in young children
under 5 years of age — you will find a large
amount of interesting information relating to the
social and vital condition of the population of
the Parish, chiefly obtained from the returns of
the census of the people, taken in April last year—
