THE SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
of the
St. Sabiour's district Board of Works.
RESPECTFULLY PRESENTED TO THE INHABITANTS.
In making their Seventh Annual Report, the Board beg to
draw attention to the able analysis of the Medical Officer, the
latter part of which contains tabular statements evidencing the
sanitary condition of the District during the past year, and the
Board are content to remark that their most careful consideration
and energy continue to be directed to this, the most important
of the functions devolving upon them; at the same time, they
earnestly recommend a careful persual of the Medical Officers Report
thereon.
In consequence of the defective and uncertain supply of water
for the purpose of watering the Roads, obtainable from the old
pumps, more especially in Christchurch parish, the Board have
made arrangements of a satisfactory nature with the Sonthwark
and Vauxhall Water Company for a sufficient supply, and have
provided the necessary hydrants, &c. for that purpose.
Arrangements, involving, as it is thought, considerable advantages
to the public property have been made with the London,
Chatham, and Dover Railway Company where land has been required
by them in the course of their operations in the District, of
a nature calculated materially to improve and benefit some parts
through which their line runs.
