NOTE.

By regulations issued under the Local Government (Scotland) Act,
1889, the Board of Supervision requires all Medical Officers of
Districts of counties to prepare an annual Report and to transmit
copies thereof to the Board and to the County Council. Under
eight headings these Reports practically cover the whole field of
sanitary work as carried on the Districts. In addition, the Board
recommends that another Report, referring to each county as a
whole, be prepared and sent to the same authorities at a later
date, the County Report being based to some extent on the Dis-
trict Reports. This arrangement appears to have contemplated
the possibility of the County Medical Officer not being at the same
time Medical Officer for the Districts. But in the County of Dun-
barton, as usually elsewhere in Scotland, the same Officer acts in
both capacities. That being so, it seems convenient that County
and District Reports should appear together. Further, so much
of what I have to say refers alike to both Districts, that
instead of writing a separate Report for each, I have, under
such headings as House Accommodation, Water Supply, &c.,
&c, simply devoted separate paragraphs to the Western and
Eastern Districts. In preparing the Report I have transposed
the first two of the eight subdivisions laid down by the Board,
but in the table of contents the items are arranged in the proper
sequence.
