CORPORATION OF BARKING
TOWN HALL, BARKING
ESSEX
October, 1947.
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors
of the Borough of Barking.
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
The form of my Report, for the year 1946
has been designed to appeal not only to the
members of the Council, who have an inside
knowledge of the working of the services, but
also to a wider public.
Too often the valuable statistical
work it is my duty to submit to you, is read
only by yourselves and a small number of
technical people. There is a very real field
of usefulness for an Annual Report amongst
members of the public generally and I earnestly
trust that my attempt this year to make the
report popular will mean that it will be a
force in developing health consciousness.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
Medical Officer of Health.
