Magisterial proceedings were instituted in three cases against

I think you will find it absolutely necessary to retain the services
of the present temporary Sanitary Inspector as a permanent officer.
So much attention is now being directed to sanitation that the work
in this department has enormously increased, and, notwithstanding
this increase of work, we have only one permanent Inspector, as
when I was appointed, 25 years ago, your Medical Officer of Health.

I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
JOHN J. SKEGG,
Medical Officer of Health.
