REPORT,
1880.
To the Board of Works for the Wandsworth District.
Gentlemen,
We have the honour to present the twenty-fifth
Annual Report on the health and sanitary condition of
the Wandsworth District.
The quarter of a century during which your Medical
Officers have collated the sanitary statistics of this
District, in the present form, has seen great improvements
effected in the condition of the neighbourhood,
both as regards its extraordinary growth in population,
and the attainment of a higher standard of health; and
the year 1880 may be pointed to as affording evidence
of the strongest kind in favour of this opinion.
The Census, taken at the end of the first quarter of
1881, gives us the means of accurately determining the
proportion of the births and deaths to the population,
and of presenting to you with confidence these figures
and the deductions founded upon them.
We have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your obedienr Servants,
The Medical Officers of Health for the
Wandsworth District.
