interest invariably displayed by the Borough Council in all matters
affecting the health of the community can be allowed to speak
for itself. I am equally convinced, however, that many outside
the Council are not yet in a position adequately to understand the
changes which have come about. I can only hope that the brief
explanation set out in the paragraphs above will help to clarify
the situation.
In conclusion, I should like to express my sincere thanks to
the members of the Borough Council, and especially to the members
of the Public Health Committee, for the continued support which
I have received during the past year. I should also like to thank
the staff of the Public Health Department, all of whom, as already
indicated, have adapted themselves admirably to the altered conditions.
1 would particularly tender my thanks to Mr. A. E.
Gooday, Chief Sanitary Inspector, for the conscientious and able
way in which he has assisted me in my work.
I am, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
W. C. HARVEY,
Medical Officer of Health.
Southgate Town Hall.
Palmers Green, N.13.
