House-to-house inspection has proceeded as usual,
and Outworkers' Homes and Workshops kept under
regular periodic inspection. 1,971 inspections were
made in connection with cases of Infectious Disease;
8,197 sanitary notices of various kinds were served;
and numerous improvements and repairs effected. The
various duties are more particularly detailed in the
Appendices A to U following, to all of which I beg to
request your attention, and none of which appear to
require any special or further description. The two
extracts from the Monthly Reports marked respectively
'Overcrowding," "Verminous Children and Overcrowding
" and " Milk and Dairies Act, 1914," are
included by request.
Respectfully soliciting your best consideration,
I have the honour to be,
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
Your most obedient servant,
JOHN FOOT.
