Hon Mayor and City Council
Gentlemen
I herewith hand you Report of Health department for month of October 1902 I am pleased to state to you that the health and sanitary conditions of the city is good. No evidence of disease, at present in the city- but the wet and cold season now coming on will without doubt increase our sick list. Our death rate for month of Oct was very low. being 750 for 1000. For the month, as I warned you in my former report that the fall and winter months would see an increase in Hospital & Pauper work. So it is shown in Hospital admissions for October being 20 as against 13 for Sept with a proportionate increase in cost. We are not only burdened with our own sick but scarcely a week passes but we are called on to care for paupers shipped from other countries + states. Very Respectfully
R. Chambers City Physician
