Contravention of Closing Orders
Nine summonses were issued in respect of illegal
occupation of closed underground rooms. Convictions were
obtained in six cases and fines of £43. 6s. Od. were imposed.
In three cases the summonses were withdrawn as the illegal
occupation had been abated.
CONCLUSION
The presentation of this Report affords me the
opportunity of expressing my grateful appreciation of the
kind co-operation, which I have received, from His Worship
the Mayor, the Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen of the various
Committees and all members of the Council.
I would like also to record my sincere thanks to the
staff of the Public Health Department for their loyal and
efficient service during the year, and to the other Chief
Officers and their staffs for their willingness to
co-operate at all times.
I have the honour to be
Your obedient Servant,
J. H. WEIR
Medical Officer of Health.
