this increased use and the increased number of mechanical breakdowns
the Council resolved to purchase an additional ambulance.
The Sanitary Inspectors made an increased number of visits to
various properties, food shops, etc., but their work has been made
more difficult in view of the shortage of materials and labour in
getting repairs carried out, and difficulty has been experienced with
regard to collection and disposal of house refuse and a weekly
. collection has not yet been found possible. It has been found
necessary to spend a large amount of time inspecting foodstuffs both
canned and otherwise in various bulk food stores.
I wish to take this opportunity of thanking the Council and
officers of all departments for their assistance and especially to
all the members of the Health Department for the way in which they
have cheerfully and ungrudgingly in effort dealt with the new and
additional work of the Department.
