record that this equipment was only obtained by the unceasing efforts of
Councillor E. C. Sherwood who for many years as a member of the
Borough Council and a member of the London County Council, and more
recently as a member of the Regional Hospital Board, has done so much
to improve the public health and hospital services.
I am indebted to the Council and particularly to the Members of the
Public Health Committee for their help and encouragement, to the
Officers of the Council for their ready help and co-operation.
My thanks are also due to my own staff for their loyal assistance. Some
of their work is tabulated in the report which follows ; the high standards
of the clerical work has maintained and enhanced the reputation of the
Borough Council, but the sympathy and understanding which all the
members of the staff, and particularly the Sanitary Inspectors, have shown
in dealing with the problems and difficulties of the public, must remain
largely unrecorded.
I remain,
Your obedient Servant,
R. Duncan Dewar,
Medical Officer of Health.
