    The West Worthing sewage will henceforth discharge into Worthiug system, and pass into the sea at the eastern outfall. These improvements will take some months before the} are complete, but in the meantime the Borough has been in a very healthy state. During the half-year just completed there has not been any death from enteric fever, and the general death-rate from ah causes has only been at the rate of 12‘5 per 1,000 persons living. The story that I have to tell is already a story of the past. I have to offer my thanks to all the officers of the Town Council for the information they have so kindly rendered ; to Mr. R. Grevett, the Registrar of Births and Deaths; to Mr. E. H. Grant, and to Mr. Vail of Littlehampton, for assistance the} have given me; and most of all to Mr. Gardner, Sanitary In- spector, whose valuable services during the epidemic I especially wish to record. I have the honour to be. Your Obedient Servant, C. KELLY. 2 S3 WtLLUUME INSTITUTE LIBRARY Coil welMOmec Call No. Vmc_
