Owing to the trend of recent legislation, the work of the Public Health
Department has been greatly increased, so that at the present time it is very
onerous. I am glad, however, to be able to report that individually its
members have worked earnestly and well in their endeavour, which has not
been unsuccessful, to discharge the duties devolving on them.
I am particularly indebted to Alderman Cufflin, Chairman of the Public
Health Committee, for the great assistance he has afforded to the Department
during the year—an assistance which has been extended to it during a
period of eleven years. It has been highly appreciated, and on occasions
has been invaluable.
On my own behalf, as well as on that of the staff, I desire to thank him
very cordially.
I am, Gentlemen
Your obedient servant
June ist, 1903.
