miseries. It is not simply the time wasted on the subject that is to
be deplored, but it is the unnecessary alarm the discussion of such
topics excite in the public mind.
To your Vestry as a body, but more especially to the Members
of the Sanitary Committee, I desire to offer my cordial thanks
for their kind and constant support. The Sanitary Inspectors, who
have all now been in your service for some years, have done their
work excellently well, and if I say nothing of Mr. Collingwood's
judicious and indefatigable labours, I shall not be misunderstood.
They are too well known to need a word of praise from me.
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
C. MEYMOTT TIDY,
Vestry Offices, Medical Officer of Health,
31st July, 1879.
