The Officer appointed by the Middlesex County Council under
the Rats and Mice (Destruction) Act, 1919, has afforded us assistance
in many cases when called upon to do so.
There still remains the serious question as to whether the
Health Department has sufficient Staff to carry out the work that
it is now called upon to do and, as I have previously stated in my
Annual Report, I hope this will be remedied during the coming
year.
This Report would not be complete unless I again state how
much I appreciate the kindly manner in which Dr. Geffen, your
Medical Officer of Health, has always treated me and the Staff,
and the happy conditions under which we work. I also wish to
thank the Council for their continued courtesy and support, and
all the members of the Public Health Staff for the very competent
manner in which they have carried out their duties, and for their
help during the past year.
I am Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
FRED. WILSON, M.R.San.I., M.S.I.A.,
Chief Sanitary Inspector.
