was accordingly created. The part-time services of a trained nurse were
also engaged for rendering the last offices in the case of females.
During the year 60 reports, both routine and special, were submitted
by me to Committees of the Council. The correspondence of the Department
included 11,043 incoming communications and 10,997 outgoing.
In conclusion, I would express my sincere thanks to the Public Health
Committee, its past Chairman, Councillor Mrs. F. M. Odone, and to the
present Chairman, Councillor F. R. Ridley, Esq., J.P., for much personal
kindness, helpfulness and invariable consideration. The staff deserve
commendation and appreciation for their work in the various branches
of the Department.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient Servant,
ANDREW J. SHINNIE.
