It is my privilege again to express my appreciation of the
kindness and consideration which has always been shown to me
by the members of the Public Health and Maternity and Child
Welfare Committees, and the whole of the members of the Council.
I also have to acknowledge gratefully the increased assistance which
has been given me on the clerical side, which, coupled' with adequate
office accommodation, has served to place the administration
of the department on a thoroughly well organised basis. I have
only to add that the whole of the staff have carried out their
duties in a particularly enthusiastic and satisfactory manner.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
E. G. Annis.
