statute in 1956 to that of Chief Public Health Inspector. In
1965 he became the new London Borough's first Chief Public
Health Inspector.
Mr. Bartlett is a fellow of the Royal Society of Health and
has always been an active Member of the Association of Public
Health Inspectors, serving on various Standing Committees of
the London Centre of the Association. He was also the
Chairman of the London No. 1 (Northern) Pest Control
Committee.
Mr. Bartlett gave the Council long and loyal service and
always displayed a judicious approach to the many and varied
public health problems which arose. He was a valuable source
of advice and guidance to his colleagues.
It would be difficult to highlight every aspect of the
contribution made by Mr. Bartlett to the progress made in
environmental health during his four decades with the Council;
however, in 1969 the Borough reached a milestone of which I
think it can be justly proud, it became completely smoke
controlled. Throughout the programme which commenced in
1959, Mr. Bartlett carried responsibility for all technical
aspects and thus played a significant part in securing cleaner
air for Islington. He was the officer responsible to the Council
and to the Public Health Inspectors Education Board for the
training of students. The Islington training scheme is second to none and one on which training in other
boroughs has been modelled.
