"We are keeping in touch with Sir Edwin Cornwall,
D.L., M.P., with regard to this matter so that the views
of the Council may be advanced at every opportunity.
If Council considers anything further can be done notwithstanding
the abnormal circumstances which now prevail,
we shall be happy to carry out the desires of the
Council. We
"Recommend-That our report be received and
approved.
T. O'Grady, J.P.,
Chairman.
From the foregoing it will be gathered that as a
Medical Officer of Health I have some cause to be
dissatisfied with the action, or rather the want of
action, on the part of the powers that be. On the
other hand my cordial thanks are due to the Council and
especially to the members of the Public Health Committee,
for their ever willing help and encouragement,
and to my colleagues of the Health Department for their
kind assistance and co-operation.
I have the honour to be,
Sir and Gentlemen,
Your very obedient servant,
GEORGE PADDOCK BATE,
Medical Officer of Health.
