To prevent any misunderstanding I should like to add, my
reason for moving Mr. Ainley was because district C requires persistent
and systematic working. From the entirely satisfactory
manner in which he has hitherto performed the duties entrusted
to him I have every confidence that he will effect considerable
improvement in this part of the Borough where it is most needed.
As stated above, now that certain sources of friction and
unsettlement have been removed, I trust that all members of
the staff will proceed to further efforts, and endeavour to place
the work of the Department on the highest possible level.
The younger members, Messrs. Rowsell, Bare, and Jones, have
begun well in their respective positions, and I trust they, as well
as their more senior colleagues, will persevere in the good work.
In conclusion, I desire to thank the Committee for the great
assistance they have given me during the past year. The kindness
and confidence shown by the Members have been a constant
source of help and encouragement.
I am, Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN FOOT,
Chief Inspector,
Member Royal Institute of Public Health.
