Before closing this part of the report the Medical Officer of Health
feels it his duty to bear testimony to the diligent and satisfactory manner
in which the staff, clerks as well as Inspectors, performed their work. It
was worthy of high praise. He also notices with great satisfaction that
they were most punctual every morning in their attendance at the
Vestry Hall at nine o'clock. Indeed, the occasions on which members
of the staff were late were so few that they could be counted by units.
This speaks well for the interest which they have undoubtedly taken in
their work.
