    Public Health Office, 32, South Street, BRinpoiiT, Dorset, July, 1954. To His Worship the Mayor, Aldermen and Oouncillors, of the Borough of Bridport. I have the honour to present to you my Annual Report on the Health ahd Sanitary Circumstances of the Borough for the year 1953* The health of the community has on the whole been good. There were no serious outbreaks of Infectious Diseases and it.is noteworthy that no case of Diphtheria has been notified in the last twelve years mainly due to the high percentage of immunised children. There was one death from Tuberculosis and this rate compares favourably with that of the rest of the country, I am deeply grateful for the courtesy and consideration extended, to me by members of the Council and for the co-operation of my colleagues on the Council staff, especially Mr. Armstrong, the Sanitary Inspector. I cm your obedient servant. Medical Officer of Health
