Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present to you my Report

accordance with the instructions of the Ministry
of Health.
With this Report are embodied those for the
years 1916, 1917, and 1918, in so far as the Vital

printed reports were issued for those periods.

of the Local Government Board were taken over
by the Ministry of Health who have also the power
to take over and absorb other duties connected with
the health and well-being of the people.
