By the death of Dr. J. S. New the services of a very
capable and devoted worker were lost to the Borough. It would
be difficult to exaggerate the value of his eleven years official
connection with the Borough in the successful development of
our Maternity and Child Welfare work.
The only important measure bearing upon Public Health which
was made in 1922 was the approval of a much-needed improved
provision for the cleansing of verminous children; but so far
the necessary work has not been commenced.
Valuable services were rendered by those Medical Officers
associated with me in the work of Tuberculosis and Maternity and
Child Welfare, as well as by the other Public Health officials of the
Borough Council.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
April, 1925. HENRY KENWOOD.
