    REPORT OF THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH FOR THE YEAR 1931. To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough of Maidstone. Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen, ] have the honour to present to you my Annual Report on the Health and Sanitary Condition of the Borough of Maidstone for the year 1 931. I am glad to be able to report that the health of the Town has been good and there has been nothing in the nature of an epidemic. Further progress is being made in the provision of houses for the workers and towards the demolition or re conditioning of the unfit houses which still exist in the Borough. While the National Emergency makes the strictest economy imperative, l hope that the sanitary services of the Borough will not be allowed to suffer. This being the first Annual Report which 1 have presented to you, 1 should like to take this opportunity of thanking the Corporation and the Officers for the warm welcome which was given to me on taking up my duties in Maidstone. 1 have the honour to be, Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, P. JACOB GAFF1KIN. Public Health Department, 13, Tonbridge Road, Maidstone, 29th A jail, 1991.
