The general sanitary conditions of the Borough including the
standards of housing have continued to improve slowly but remain
far below those aimed at by all. The coming into force of the Housing
Repair and Rents Act had up to the end of the year little influence
on the work of the department.
Again it is with pleasure that I acknowledge the continued and
generous support of the Chairman and Members of the Health and
other Committees of the Council and the loyal help and co-operation
of my staff. To all I am greatly indebted and offer my sincere thanks.
I have the honour to be
Your obedient Servant,
C. O. S. BLYTH BROOKE,
Medical Officer of Health.
