30th November, 1943.
To The Mayor, aldermen and Councillors

Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
The following Report summarises the sanitary circumstances,
sanitary administration and vital statistics of the Borough, in an
abridged form.
During the year, the Council's public health services were
continued but with a still furthedepleted staff. The following
members of the staff are serving in His Majesty's Forces:Messrs.
G.B.Allen, R.W.llen, S.Burridge., E.J.Elliott, D.K.Evans,
W.H.Jennings, G.A.Langley, L.C.Southgate and J.Ewaring. It is with
the deepest regret that I have to record that Mr.J.W.Law was killed
in action abroad - much of the success of the Council's Foot Clinic
was due to the professional ability and personality of this Officer.
