There have been delays in action on some of the worst
occasions and difficulties have arisen inseparable from being
answerable to several higher authorities not apparently in
close touch with each other but the public for whose safety
and benefit the organisation has been erected have not been
ill-served.
It should not be forgotten also that home guard and
fire watching duties fill up any spare overtime of the staff to
which some departmental charge has not already been allotted.
Thanks are gratefully tendered to the Mayor, Alderman
and Councillors for much help and keen appreciation of difficulties,
to the chief officers and their departments with whom
relations have never been more cordial and especially- to the
members of the staff of the Public Health Department who have
all taken the rough with the smooth in their respective places
in the team.
