in the past 12 months sent 81 samples of cheese, butter, margarine,
bacon, preserves, &c., to the Government Laboratory
for the use of the Preservatives Committee of the Local
Government Board recently appointed to report on preserved
food.
There has been no change in the sanitary staff since my last
report.
In conclusion, I have to congratulate you, gentlemen, on the
very satisfactory sanitary condition in which you will be able
to hand over the parish to tbe new Borough Council, and to
thank you for the support you have accorded me in my work.
I have also to acknowledge the conscientious work of the
Chief Inspector and the whole sanitary staff.
I am,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
SIDNEY DAYIES.
