In conclusion I have again to express my appreciation of
Mr. Richards the Inspector of Nuisances, to whose untiring
energy, the business.like way in which the Assistant Inspectors
were supervised, and the excellent manner in which
the inspections were recorded, were due.
The small number of cases in which appeals to the
Magistrate was necessary speaks well for the tact displayed
in carrying out what must always be a disagreeable duty.
JOSEPH OAKMAN,
Medical Officer of Health, for West Battersea.
