    EO.^CTJGH CF BMOIgiEY. Annual Report of the Medical Officer of Health for the Year 1951. To The Mayor, Aldermen oc Councillors, of the Borough of Brackley. ilr. Mayor, Aldermen & Councillors, I have the honour to present my Annual Report ivith that of Mr, Morgan, yoinr Sanitary Inspector, for the year 195'!. The Vital Statistics are satisfactory and there vv'-ere no deaths from infectious disease, and none of chiJ.dren under one year of age. No case of Poliomyilitis was notified during the year under rerie-iv, so that the Borough has been fortunate in this respect for the past six years. So far no chlorination plant has been installed in the swimming bath and I hope the Coimcil v/ill endeavour in the near future to obtain and instal a suitable plant. The building of ney/ houses is going ahead and the new flats seem to be quite satisfactory. There is still a waiting list of applicants for new houses as is the case of all other areas in the Country. My thanks are due to the Council and their Officers for any help they have given me during the past year. Your obedient Servant, Arthur Lucas, L.R.C.P.,L,R,C,S.,D.P,H September 1952.
