A report dated the 2nd March, 1914, was submitted to the Sanitary
Committee of the 4th, from the Medical Officer of Health, a copy of which was
sent to each member of the Council, setting out in detail his suggestions
whereby co-operation could be effected with the County Council and over-lapping

to such men, to whom a Tuberculosis Officer of the District is prepared to
give a certificate stating that they are non-infectious. The matter was
