Particulars of this ambulance were given in my Annual
Report, 1903, page 78. The ambulance is kept in good
repair. C. E. S. Phillips, Esq., F.R.S.E., of Castle House,
has kindly provided a mattress to lie on the stretcher. Sutton
Messent, Esq., 234, Burrage Road, is acting as Hon. Secretary
for the Ambulance.
An ambulance for non-infectious illness can now be obtained
from the ambulance station of the Asylums Board on
payment of 5s.
54. In May, Mr. Ellis, Chief Clerk, retired on pension,
and was succeeded by Mr. Britter. The vacancy so caused
was not filled up. Mr. Ellis had been a most faithful
and devoted officer of the Department for 20 years, and
will be much missed. I have gratefully to acknowledge the
devoted and able assistance of Chief Inspector Duck, and
the other members of the Public Health Staff, who have
conscientiously worked for the improvement of the public
health and the diminution of sickness and physical
inefficiency.
