I would like to say that the Public Health Committee, the
Maternity and Child Welfare Committee, and the whole Council
have been extremely energetic in appreciating the work of the Public
Health Department and in assisting the staff to carry it out. I
do not wish to put this in as the conventional thanks because I
feel that, without the backing of the Council, not one-tenth part
of the work would have been done that has been accomplished.
My thanks are also specially due to my staff. They all seem to have
been imbued with the one idea, and that was to make the Department
as efficient as possible. Ido not desire to mention names because
it would simply mean enumerating the members of the Department,
and I am quite convinced there is no Medical Officer in London who
is better backed up by his subordinates.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
R. KING BROWN.
