    Department of the County Medical Officer, Sessions House, Maidstone. September 29th, 1934. 1 ■ To the Chairman and Members of the Kent County Council. My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg to submit herewith my Twenty-second Annual Report on the Public Health and Sanitary Condition of the County of Kent, for the year ended December 31st, 1933. The preparation of an annual report is a duty prescribed by Article 14 (3) of the Sanitary Officers’ Order of 1926. A medical officer of health is required to report, annually, on the sanitary circumstances, sanitary administration, and vital statistics of his district ; to include such information as may, from time to time, be required by the Minister of Health ; and to embody those other matters upon which he may consider it desirable to report. In the following pages will be found information as to the vital statistics of each sanitary area in the county, and brief observations on such improvements or deficiencies as have come to my notice during 1933. Matters of public health which are directly administered by the Kent County Council, are reviewed in more detailed fashion. I have endeavoured throughout to keep this report within limits comparable to the reports of previous years ; at the same time, no subject bearing upon the public health has been neglected. The work of my department has been smoothly and efficiently carried out throughout the year, and my staff has rendered praiseworthy service. Upon all occasions I have received the support and encouragement of your Council ; and would here express my continued appreciation of the helpful co-operation and willing assistance of the district medical officers of health throughout the county. I am, My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, Yours obediently, ALFRED GREENWOOD.
