2. The very small number of cases (only 22), in which
summonses have had to be taken out on account of noncompliance
with notices served under the Public
Health Acts, e.g., 0.2 per cent. of the total notices
served ;
3. The large amount of disinfection carried out in connection
with Tuberculosis, Measles and Whooping Cough;
4. The completion of the Stabling at Wanless Road
fecting Station, where the horses and vans have been
kept since January 1st, 1904, instead of at the Wharf
(as formerly), with consequent administrative and
financial benefits;
5. The continuing success of the Bacteriological Department
(over 3,000 samples having been examined during the
six years that the Laboratory has been in use).
To the Sanitary Inspectors, and to the rest of the Staff of the
Public Health Department, my thanks are due for the manner in
which they have worked; as also to my Colleagues, the other
Chief Officers of the Borough Council, for advice and help at all
times readily given in connection with their own respective
Departments.
In conclusion, it is to the Members of the Borough Council
(more especially the Public Health Committee) that credit is due
for the ready support that they, at all times, give their Medical
Officer of Health, thereby enabling the important work, detailed
in this Report, to be carried out so successfully, and with such
advantage to the Public Health of the Borough.
I am, Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,
Your Obedient Servant,
Joseph Priestly
Medical Officer of Health.
