The Salvage Service has continued as efficiently as ever
and a gross sum of £4,444 17s. 4½d. has resulted from the
sale bf the various materials. Of this amount it is satisfactory
to note that £1,165 3s. 6¾d. comes from the Waste food scheme
which includes the Municipal Piggery in the grounds of the
Sanatorium. Whether this is now the best site for this thriving
municipal enterprise is rather questionable for the scheme allows
of much development and also makes a fine contribution to the
national larder.
In concluding I have to thank many Councillors for their
continued interest in the department, and again the staff, both
professional and clerical, who have carried on so magnificently
and made it possible for the department to continue to give the
public its health services at the pre-war level.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
REGINALD LEADER,
Medical Officer of Health.
