ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
Medical Officer of Health for the Urban District of Barking
Town, in the County of Essex, for the Year ended 31st
December, 1929.
Public Health Offices,
Barking, Essex.
To the Chairman and Members of the Urban District
Council of Barking Town.
Mr. Chairman, Mrs. Jackson and Gentlemen,
The year 1929 has been a very energetic one so far as the whole
of the Council's Services are concerned, and the Public Health
Department has shared these activities.
The development of the Becontree Estate has made it necessary
to lay the foundations of an extended medical service.
The present Report, being chiefly a record of technical work
completed, will not, of course, show the amount of spade work
which has been done during the year.
This Report is unavoidably late. The circumstances which have
helped to make it so are not likely to recur.
I am, Mr. Chairman, Mrs. Jackson and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
C. LEONARD WILLIAMS,
Medical Officer of Health.
