I venture to hope that in my next Annual Report 1 shall be
able to record the commencement of the erection of a disinfecting

for their cordial co-operation in the carrying out of the duties

in which the Officers of the Department have discharged their
respective duties.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your most obedient servant,
REGINALD DUDFIELD,
m.a., m.b., d.p.h.,
Medical Officer of Health.
