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.
