Hanwell, to the south corner of the allotments here,
have made progress, and I understand that, subject
to the sanction of the Local Government Board being
received, this work will in all probability be carried out
during the ensuing summer. The systematic flushing
of sewers has received careful attention, as usual, and
the scavenging of the roads and alleys of the Borough
is well looked after.
Largely increased activity on the Borough Surveyor's
Staff has been shown in the laying of impervious
surface to the carriage-ways of the Borough, and
tarred slag and asphalte macadam have been successfully
laid in many roads. This, more particularly on
the motor 'bus routes, has tended to almost entirely
remove complaints in regard to dust, and the improved
surfaces have given general satisfaction.
In conclusion, I beg to express my sincere thanks
to the Chairman and members of the Public Health
Committee, and to the members of the Council, for the
kind assistance and consideration I invariably receive
and greatly appreciate.
My thanks are also due to the Heads of all Departments
for ready help at all times, and I again acknowledge
the valuable work so efficiently rendered
by my own Staff.
I am. Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
C. A. PATTEN.
Medical Officer of Health.
