ANNUAL REPORT
of the
Medical Officer of Health for the Borough of
Barking? in the County of Essex, for the Year
ended 31st December, 1939. (War Edition).
Public Health Department,
Barking, Essex.
August, 1940.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Borough of Barking.
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have pleasure in submitting my report as Medical
Officer of Health for the year ended 31st December, 1939.
At the suggestion of the Ministry of Health an
interim report only is being issued this year, although
suitable arrangements are being made for the preservation
of all records in order that, at the termination of the war,
a report could be issued dealing more fully with the period
from the beginning of 1939.
This report is confined mainly to essential and
urgent matters which have affected the public health during
the year; it deals inter alia with matters arising from,
or connected with, the war.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
C. LEONARD WILLIAMS,
Medical Officer of Health.
