    VACCINATION. The new Act has on the whole been worked with success. Roughly speaking about one-third of the unvaccinated persons obtained “ exemptions,” whilst with few exceptions the remaining two-thirds have been successfully vaccinated.^ DRAINAGE. I am glad to notice that you have commenced the proper drainage of Drayton, so that when this is finished you will have satisfactorily completed the drainage of the Avhole of your District. WATER SUPPLY. I recommend you to continue your search for an adequate supply of water. NUISANCES. Lodging and Slaughter-houses. I have to report that all nuisances have received the necessary attention whenever they have been brought to light; the lodging and slaughter-houses have been regularly inspected and the occupiers required to keep them in proper sanitary condition. In conclusion, the County Medical Officer of Health in his Annual Report for 1898 strongly recommends that the Annual Reports of the District Medical Officers of Health be printed. I venture to hope you will be good enough to adopt his recommendation. He ac- knowledges the receipt last year of printed copies from 16 out of the 30 Districts. Gentlemen, I have the honour to be. Your obedient Servant, CHAS. E. OLDACRES, ^th Fcbriiary^ 1900. Daventry,
