Other nuisances abated 877
The year has been a most trying one, caused by the unnecessary friction
which has taken place. The work of the Public Health Department is
necessarily of such a varied nature that it is essential for all its members to
work amicably together for the good of the district, but f regret to say that this
spirit has been insidiously suppressed to a great extent.
I sincerely hope, in the coming year, all this friction will cease, so that the
arduous work of the Department may not be hampered in any way.
My hearty thanks are due to all those in the Department who have worked
harmoniously with me during the past year.
I desire to express my grateful thanks for the continued support I have
received from my Committee and Council in the discharge of the multifarious
duties.
I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
RICHARD JOHN BUTLAND,
Chief Sanitary Inspector.
