    County Hall, Newport, I.W. July, 1946. To the Members of the Cowes Urban District Council:— Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honour to submit my Annual Report on the health of the District for the year 1945. The birth rate for the year was the same as for 1944, the death rate 1 per 1000 lower and the infantile mortality rate at 21’! per 1000 live births is exceptionally low. The number of notifications of infectious diseases was lower than in 1944, but Scarlet Fever and Measles both showed increases. There is nothing of importance to which I wish to call your attention except to the crying need for houses. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, W. S. WALLACE, Medical Officer of Health.
