SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE AREA
The improved staffing position of the previous year was maintained only for the
early months of 1957 and during this short period house-to-house inspections continued
Resignations of four public health inspectors, including three experienced
men, unfortunately brought this work abruptly to an end. The following through of
the numerous notices already served to successful conclusions was carried out. The
value of house to house inspection in maintaining standards cannot be over-emphasised
and this work will be resumed directly the necessary staff becomes available.
Voluntary work involving the provision and fixing of new and often additional
sanitary fittings again increased This trend, commented on in the last annual report,
is an indication of rising standards and is to be encouraged.
