OTHER REPORTS IN THE ANNUAL REPORTS OF THE NJBOH

1882 (127-144). “Local Sanitary Inspections of Sea-side Resorts, Etc.”

1884 (99-108) “Notes of Popular Health Resorts”

1890 (35-97). “Health Inspectors' Guide”

The page numbers are included for the Monmouth County reports because the PDFs are not text-searchable and the reports are not indexed by individual county. It is organized into four sections, starting with the first 8 years, since the statute requiring local boards of health that is still in effect today was not fully revised until 1887. The next two sections consist of the years with all the local reports, the latter with pictures. The last section is the years when the local reports were gradually phased out. Three reports by the State Board of Health are also included.
