In the continuously expanding local population new local notifications during the year are seen to number 1? cases, all respiratory (males 13, females 4); the figure for the previous year on- a smaller population, was identical (7 males and 10 females). No local notification in respect of noli-respiratory disease was recorded. The large number of inward transfers to the local register is again of interest, indicating that selection of New Town residence is frequently influenced by a search for improved environment for a recognised adult case which has usually reached the classification ’quiescent*. One death is recorded, in a middle-aged male, from respiratory disease. In conclusion I would acknowledge having received every help during the year fr.om your chief officers; particularly I would acknowledge the most valuable assistance from your Chief Sanitary Inspector, Mr. R.V.Lamey', who is responsible for tho compilation of the Sanitary sections of this Report. _ Your obedient, servant, V.R. Walker. District Medical Officer of Health. Comment': r - 4 -
