very grateful for his help. Mr. Chuter's retirement was undoubtedly a
loss to the Council and the public health service. He left with an
abundance of good will from everybody, and best wishes for a long
and happy retirement.
Once again, it is a great pleasure to acknowledge the kindness and
help which I have received from all persons concerned in the work of
the Department. Again I especially thank the Chairman of the Health,
Baths and Wash-houses Committee, Alderman Miss E. A. Coles, J.P.,
for her support and ever ready assistance, and the various Committees,
particularly, of course, the Health, Baths and Wash-houses Committee,
and the Housing Committee, with whose work I am concerned, for
their continued confidence. The Chief Officers of the Council, and not
least, Mr. R. G. Berry, O.B.E., the Town Clerk, have been most helpful
to me, and, as in the previous years, the officers and staff of the Health
Department in all sections have given me loyal and efficient service.
I would like again to thank my colleague, Dr. Garland, for the excellent
way in which he carries out his duties, and for the capable way in
which he assists me.
I have the honour to be, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. TUDOR LEWIS,
Medical Officer of Health-
July, 1955.
