ANNUAL REPORT
UPON THE
VITAL STATISTICS
AND
PUBLIC HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
OF THE
URBAN DISTRICT OF TEDDINGTON
FOR THE YEAR 1910.
To the Chairman and Members of the
Urban District Council of Teddington.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present to you my second
Annual Report.
It is gratifying to be able to state that the
health of the district continues in a satisfactory
condition. The death rate—generally very low—
is lower than it has been for the past nine years,
equalling within a fraction the record rate of 1901.
The number of infectious diseases notified during
the year was only 47 snewing a decrease of 37
upon last year's returns.
The most striking feature of the year's returns
is the enormous reduction in the infantile mortality,
which shews a decrease of almost 50 per cent upon
last year's figures.
These facts all tend to prove that the sanitary
condition must be on the whole good.
