I should like to take this opportunity of thanking the
Members of the Council for the co-operation and consideration
they afforded me throughout the year. I should also like to
express my appreciation for the loyal and efficient service so
willingly rendered by the Staff of the Public Health Department.
Their help was particularly praiseworthy in view of the difficulties
experienced in recruiting sufficient and suitable officers
to carry out the important and onerous duties which inevitably
fall upon the Public Health Department of a large metropolitan
borough.
I am, Mr. Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors,
Your obedient Servant,
H. W. BARNES,
Medical Officer of Health.
