iii.
The Housing position remains much as was stated in the
introductory letter to my report for 1941. Lack of materials and
labour and the war-time restrictions upon building are contributing
towards a steady deterioration, more especially in "border
line" properties. There is also evidence that overcrowding is
increasing.
In conclusion, I express my thanks to you, ladies and gentlemen,
for the help and encouragement you have given my staff and
myself, and I wish to bring to your notice the competent manner
in which the members of the professional, technical and clerical
staff of the Department in all its branches have carried out their
duties.
I am,
Yours faithfully,
OSCAR M. HOLDEN,
Medical Officer of Health.
