Last year was noteworthy for the establishment of a Tuberculosis
Dispensary, under a Voluntary Committee, but in close
co-operation with your council. By providing expert and early
treatment for poor persons suffering from Consumption, this
institution should greatly assist in the abolition of this disease.
Satisfactory work has been done under the Housing, Town
Planning, etc., Act (see par. 30).
'
I would call your special attention to what is said in par. 49a
re Public Baths, Lavatories, and Cleanliness.
I have to thank you for the careful consideration you have
given to many recommendations I have made on behalf of the
public health, and congratulate you that on the whole I am able
to make such a satisfactory report on the health of the Borough.
I am,
Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
SIDNEY DAWES.
