The problem of slum clearance in this district is
comparatively a small one and, in fact, during the year the
majority of houses on which action needs to be taken have already
been dealt with. Few districts will have as little to do in slum
clearance as this, but it is fortunate that the majority of
houses are of comparatively recent building and action needs to
be taken only in the case of a few very old properties.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Chairman
and members of the Public Health Committee for their
encouragement and support during the year My grateful thanks
are also due to the Chief Public Health Inspector and the
remainder of the staff of the department for their excellent
co-operation and work during the year
I am,
Your obedient Servant,
0. C. DOBSON,
Medical Officer of Health.
