to Parliament contains many sanitary reforms which will be of
lasting benefit to the Town.
The building of the Isolation Hospital is progressing, and will
probably be finished during the present year; the same remarks
apply to the Baths.
The Board Schools are now under your supervision, and I have
made some very important suggestions in the report which I trust
will receive your earnest consideration.
Certain changes in the Staff of my department have taken place.
Mr. Fraser whose work was most satisfactory has been appointed
Sanitary Inspector to the Northfleet Urban District Council, Kent,
and Mr. Ernest J. Gough, has taken his place.
The appointment of Miss L. Bulkeley Williams, as a Lady
Health Visitor, will be of the greatest help and benefit to the Town.
In the tables, dealing with the Vital Statistics you will notice
the great increase in the number of inhabited houses and the
population.
The work of my department has been carried out to my complete
satisfaction and I take this opportunity of thanking the Council for
their kind help and advice in many important matters.
I am greatly indebted to Mr. Kinch for his able assistance and
support; and from his report which I append it will be seen that
he has done good service in the Town.
I am Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
G. A. GARRY SIMPSON.
