It will be observed that the more detailed statements of work
done and reports made by the Chief Sanitary Inspector are not
included in this report for the first time, the Health Committee
having resolved that they should be issued separately for the
future.
Summary of the Sanitary operations of the year will be found
in Table XXXVI.
I have to express my approval of the manner in which the
whole Staff of the Public Health Department have carried out
their duties during the year under report.
My colleagues have rendered every possible help and assistance
to me, for which I tender my best thanks.
In conclusion, I beg to thank the members of the Vestry
generally, more especially those forming the Health Committee,
for their great personal kindness shewn to me, as well as for the
great assistance and consideration given during the year, which
have alone rendered me able to carry out my duties.
I have the honor to be, gentlemen,
Yours obediently,
W. H. KEMPSTER, M.D.,
Medical Officer of Health.
