    TO THE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE SANITARY AUTHORITY OF THE BOROUGH OF CHELTENHAM. Ladies and Gentlemen, I have pleasure in presenting' my Annual Health Report for the year 1920. As the Annual Health Reports are now all made to one pattern, there is not much opportunity for variety, or introduction of matters that are outside of the prescribed scope. This facilitates the sum- marizing* of the reports received from all parts of the country without doubt, and tends to remove the critical note formerly asked for and expected from the responsible official. The Reports, some of which were too long* and elaborate, are thus curtailed. The high cost of printing and paper that has ruled of late is an additional reason for abbreviation, and limitation of the number of copies to be printed in the opinion of the Public Health Committee. I have the honour to be Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, April I ith, 1921. J. H. GARRETT, ^M^edical Officer of Health,
