Board of Works for the Limehouse District,
Public Health Department.
To Dr. D. L. Thomas,
Medical Officer of Health
and Public Analyst.
Sir,
We have much pleasure in submitting our tabulated
statement showing the amount of work performed by us during
the past year, the details of which came under your notice and
supervision.
Diligent attention has been given throughout the year to the
Meat, Fish, Fruit and Vegetables exposed for sale in the shops
and thoroughfares in the District.
The cases of Infectious Disease have had our immediate
attention and constant vigilance day and night, and occasionally
on Sundays.
The scarcity of the water supply during the Summer months
caused us considerable anxiety and extra work, necessitating our
being on duty for seven days of the week early and late. Outwork
consisted of distributing water bottles and water for
sanitary and domestic purposes; this, in our opinion, preventing
an epidemic.
We are,
Yours obediently,
JOHN WILLIAM JOHNSON,
GEORGE OSBORNE PAVITT,
EDWIN THOMAS CROOK.
