5. The best available means of obviating
nuisance are not used, and the limited space
at command prevents the adoption of means
which would be easily available were the
factory more favourably situated, and of
adequate size and area.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
THOS. STEVENSON,
M.D. Lond., L.R.C.P. Lond., Lecturer on
Chemistry and Medical Jurisprudence at
Guy's Hospital, Examiner in Public Health
to the Royal Colleges of Physicians and
Surgeons, Vice-President of the Society of
Medical Officers of Health.
In conclusion I have very much pleasure in referring
to the cordial relations existing between the Public
Health Committee and its Officers. Speaking for my
colleagues in the Office, we feel that we have the
hearty support of the whole Council in our efforts to
ameliorate the health conditions of the Borough.
Moreover, as we are naturally jealous of any attempt
to belittle our work, we much appreciate the manner
in which the Council as a whole indignantly refuted a
recent attempt in this direction. I beg to tender my
sincere thanks to the Public Health Committee for their
kind and courteous consideration, and to my colleagues
of all departments for their willing help and information.
I have the honor to be,
Sir and Gentlemen,
Your very obedient servant,
GEORGE PADDOCK BATE.
