Visitors, Tuberculosis Visitors, and other workers, had
performed their duties and handed in their reports systematically
and
(c) That I have now had twelve months' personal
experience of working with the staff,
I feel that I am justified in assuming that the late Dr. King Warry,
if he had lived, would have followed his usual custom, and would
have expressed his appreciation of the sendees rendered by the
whole staff of the Public Health Department during the year in
question. Personally, although I do not know, I believe that during
the year, 1918, the several groups of the staff did the work of the
department promptly, efficiently and conscientiously, and in writing
this I make no distinction between the groups,—Clerks, Sanitary
Inspectors, Health Visitors, Tuberculosis Visitors, and others.
I shall have something further to say on this subject when I am
writing my Annual Report for the year, 1919.
In conclusion, I desire to express my very sincere thanks to
the whole of the Public Health Department for the very friendly
manner in which all the members of the staff received me when I
came among them as a stranger a year ago; for their hearty cooperation
and ever-ready assistance at all times; and for their
willingness to comply with all my wishes, sometimes, indeed, to
anticipate them. My thanks are, perhaps, most expecially due
to the clerical staff for cheerfully performing the drudgery of the
work entailed in the preparation of this report,
I am, Madam and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
WILFRED W. E. FLETCHER.
