as good as will be found anywhere, and to all members of that team I
should like to give my thanks for their loyal co-operation. A special
word is due to Mr. Ruff for his help throughout the year and with
the compilation of this report. To my fellow Chief Officers I owe much
for their courtesy and ever-ready help. Lastly, but by no means least,
I must thank Members of the Committee, and in particular Alderman
Mrs. Engwell for her assistance and forbearance during the early

have no doubt in many years past) towards the public health in Barking.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
Medical Officer o f Health.
