Since August, 1914, arrangements were made for co-operation between the
Civil and Military Sanitary Services. This co-operation in the Borough included
work connected with the prevention of infectious diseases and verminous
conditions; the weekly inspection of Drill Halls and houses where soldiers were
billetted, the inspection of food supplied for soldiers in Restaurants, Drill Halls,
Billets, &c., and food prepared by Government Contractors.
I desire to express my high appreciation of the. assistance and hearty
co-operation that I have received from the staff of the Public Health Department
during the year.
One Sanitary Inspector and two Clerks have now enlisted in H.M. Forces.
No temporary Inspector was appointed and only one temporary female Clerk.
The work therefore had to be re-arranged and the remaining staff willingly
undertook additional duties as required.
I have the honour to be,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
W. A. BOND.
