This report was compiled by the California State Board of Health on order of Los Angeles Mayor George E. Cryer. It reports on cases of plague in Los Angeles from November 1924 to June 1925. It contains details on individual cases including autopsies, reports from Los Angeles hospitals about cases of plague, animal trapping and poisoning information, medical inspections, and eradication and disinfection efforts. The report also contains several illustrations, black and white photographs and maps. The report includes a table of contents, a preliminary report on bubonic cases, an appendix on rodent plague, Lenert's Report on Harbor District, a Final Report and a copy of Ordinance No. 50,282, "providing sanitary regulations for the protection of public health in the City of Los Angeles." There are copies of letters by Mayor Cryer and the California State Board of Health Secretary and Executive Officer, Dr. Walter M. Dickie. The volume was a gift from Dr. Allen F. Gillihan to the Los Angeles County Medical Association in January 1926.
