that in the event of a short supply in any particular district,
the deficiency will be made good out of the abundance of other
districts.
CONCLUSION.—In bringing this my twenty-ninth annual
report to a conclusion, I desire to acknowledge the valuable
assistance received from Mr. E. R. Hill, first assistant-clerk
in the Public Health Department, more particularly in the
collation of statistics. I desire also to bear testimony to
the good work of the staff generally, and not least to that
of the sanitary inspectors, which has been carried out as
efficiently as was possible, having regard to the limited
number of those officers, and to the vastness and variety of
the duties devolved on your Vestry by the authority of
Parliament.
I am Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
T. ORME DUDFIELD,
Medical Officer of Health.
