I have before expressed approval of the manner in which
the Sanitary Staff have carried out their duties during the year,
the Chief Sanitary Inspector, Mr. Isaac Young, by his zeal and
energy, keeping the work up to the high standard which has
always characterised the department. The District Inspectors
have, as was reported last year, got through their numerous
and sometimes disagreeable duties with great efficiency and
with creditable regard for the feelings of those amongst whom
it is their duty to act.
The Vestry Clerk, Mr. Wilkins, has upon every occasion
given me all the assistance possible, assistance which from his
great experience, I have found invaluable, and for which I beg
to tender my sincere thanks as well as to my colleagues, Mr. J.
T. Pilditch, the Surveyor; Mr. C. E. Cassal, the Public Analyst;
Mr. W. W. Young, the Solicitor; and the whole staff of the
Vestry.
The support which has always been extended to me by the
Sanitary Committee and the whole of the members of the
Vestry I hope to still obtain, as such support can alone render
a Medical Officer able to carry out his responsible duties in so
large and important a Parish as Battersea, and place him in a
position to be able to present a report upon the public health of
so favourable a character as that given above.
W. H. KEMPSTER, M.D.,
Medical Officer of Health for Battersea.
