CHISWICK URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL
Public Health Department,
Town Hall, Chiswick, W.
To the Chairman and Members of the Chiswick
District Council.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit to you my Annual
Report for 1908. The health of the district has been
exceptionally good as shown by the low death rate
viz., 12.17 Per thousand of the population, which I
may say is one of the lowest on record. The zymotic
death rate was also low, being 1.01 per thousand.
On referring to the Report it will be seen that the
Sanitary Department has been actively employed ;
every year adds to the duties that are entrusted to
Sanitary Authorities.
It is necessary to repeat each year many of the
details of this Report and it is perhaps inevitable that
the statistics and some parts of the letter press
should be dry and uninteresting to the ordinary
reader.
