To His Worship the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough of Torquay. Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honour to present to you my Annual Beport on the Sanitary circumstances of the Borough and the Health of the inhabitants during the year 1926. Although the report required by the Ministry of Health last year was what is termed a “ Survey Beport,” dealing with health conditions during the preceding five years, the contents of the present report varies little from it. It has been found, that there so many requests from visitors or prospective residents for copies, it is desirable that all sanitary circumstances should be set out somewhat fully. I have to thank my colleagues and members of the department for their assistance and hearty co-operation. I have also to express my appreciation of the cordial support afforded to me by the Council, and especially the Members of the Public Health Committee. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, THOMAS DUNLOP.
