Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit to you my Fourth
Annual Report upon the Health and Sanitary condition
of the district for the year ending December
31st, 1925.
This Report is compiled on the lines set out in
Circular No. 648 from the Ministry of Health dated
December 10th, 1925, and is on this occasion a
a quinquennial Survey Report, this being the first of
its series.
The health of the district according to the
Death Rate seems to be better than in the previous
year; Death Rate 10.6 as compared with 11.8 per
thousand. The Death Rate for the 157 smaller
towns in England and Wales was 11.2 per thousand.
