I regret that this report should be somewhat uneventful, but it is
considerably discounted by the issue of the Chief Inspector's report
some months since. This valuable document contains many
interesting details which it would be superfluous to reproduce here,
and to which I beg to refer all interested in the work of my
department.
In conclusion, I desire heartily to thank the Sanitary Committee
for their kindness and courtesy to me. My acknowledgments are
also due to my colleagues in the Sanitary Department for the
cheerful assistance they have invariably afforded me. I need
hardly say that without their aid little could be done to prevent
disease in the parish, and I gladly take this opportunity of
expressing my obligations to them and my recognition of their
loyal and invaluable assistance.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your very obedient servant,
