The late Public Health Committee before going out of office determined
that the number of samples taken for analysis by your Public Analyst shall be
largely increased, so that in future instead of 800 at least 1,200 shall be
annually analyzed, which is none too many considering the large number of
traders selling food products in Islington.
I cannot conclude this introductory note without tendering on my own
behalf as well as on behalf of the Public Health Department my warmest
thanks to Alderman Cufflin, who for over eleven years has been Chairman of
the Public Health Committee, for the great assistance he has been at all times
to us, for the deep interest he has taken in the public health administration
of the parish and borough, for his encouragement in times of difficulty
and for the unselfish manner in which he has always placed his services at the
disposal of your sanitary staff. We are glad, however, to know that, although
he has retired from the Chairmanship he still remains a member of the
Committee, and that his rare experience and knowledge of health and sanitary
work are not to be lost to the Borough which he has served so ably and
faithfully.
I am, Mr. Mayor and Aldermen and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
Medical Officer of Health.
Town Hall, Islington,
May 26th, 1904.
