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, Fruit and Vegetables exposed for sale in the Shops
and thoroughfares in the District.
The cases of Infectious Disease have had our immediate
attention, occasionally calling us out at night, and frequently on
Sundays.
We are,
Yours obediently,
