The question of Smoke Abatement, though steadily aimed at, is
handicapped for want of by-laws dealing with permissible time of
smoke emission per hour or half-hour. A Committee is taking evidence
on the subject and it is hoped that by-laws will be forthcoming soon.
During the year plans were prepared for a new Public Health
Centre at Harton Street, Deptford Broadway. This building was
opened in January, 1928, and though the subject should be reserved
until next year's Report, some details will be found herewith.
In conclusion, I have to express my cordial thanks to you for
your unfailing kindness and cordial support, and to the staff for loyal
work well done.
Your obedient Servant,
Charles S. Thomson,
Medical Officer of Health.
