The Report must be read in order to realize the large amount
of work done by the Health Department, but I may point to the
fact that 23,442 inspections and re-inspections were made, 4,010
notices of nuisances found were served, and 4,062 letters were
written during the year. Very good work was done under the
Housing, Town Planning, &c., Act.
Although it is difficult to make the Annual Report of a healthy
town as interesting as a romance, I venture to think that this
one, dealing with all the conditions which affect the health of
yourselves, your friends, and the citizens, of whose welfare you
are the trustees, will repay your careful perusal. Happy is the
town which has no tragical epidemic to record.
I congratulate you that such is the case with Woolwich, and
thank you for the kind support you have given to the work of the
Public Health staff and myself.
I am,
Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
SIDNEY DAVIES.
