As the matter appears to be somewhat urgent I shall be glad
if your Council will, as soon as possible, communicate with the
Member or Members of Parliament for your Borough requesting
them to support the action taken.
Yours faithfully,
C. H. F. Barrett,
Hon. Sec. to Conference.
To the Town Clerk, Town Clerk, St. Pancras.
Metropolitan Borough of Poplar.
The Committee recommended the Council that the members representing
the Borough in Parliament be asked to support the action taken
by the Conference.
Second Health Visitor—A Resignation and an Appointment.
Miss Alldritt submitted her resignation as second Health Visitor,
on the occasion of her forthcoming marriage, and asked that a testimonial
be granted her. Miss Alldritt proved a most capable officer, and the
Committee regretted her resignation while congratulating her on the
occasion, and recommended the Council that a testimonial under the
Seal of the Council be given to Miss Alldritt on her resignation.
Owing to the outbreak of war, alterations in the arrangements
made for Miss Alldritt's marriage were necessitated, but the wedding
took place on the 27th August at a few hours' notice, and the bridegroom,
Mr. Giles, an engineer, left, with his ship, a few days later, for an unknown
destination.
Under these circumstances, Mrs. Giles asked that she be allowed to
retain her position as second Health Visitor until the end of the year,
or until affairs became more settled. The Committee recommended
the Council that Mrs. Giles continue to act for the present as Second
Health Visitor.
Mrs. Giles resigned her appointment in October and Miss E. R. Wain
was appointed in her stead and commenced duties on the 1st January,
1915.
