In concluding my Ninth Annual Report, I may perhaps be permitted
to express my regret in recording the fact that it represents the last year
of my official connection with the Parish of St. George the Martyr.
During the nine years it has been my pleasure and privilege to act as
your Medical Officer of Health, my constant endeavour has been to carry
out the duties of my important office without fear and without favour.
On the whole, I think, the Parish may be congratulated on having made
substantial sanitary progress during the period in question.
I have the honour to be.
Your obedient Servant,
F. J. WALDO,
Medical Officer of Health.
