The population of the Borough is estimated by the Registrar-General to be
146,400 at the middle of the year, an increase of 880 on 1934. This is the total
population and includes non-civilians. It is on this figure that the rates of the
Borough are calculated, and so when any comparison of this report is made with
those during the period 1915 to 1931 (when civilians only were included) allowance
must be made for this alteration in method.
Since my last Report the following staff changes have taken place:—
Miss I Grant was appointed to a temporary clerkship from the 13th February.
Miss M. Campbell, who joined the staff as a health visitor in 1920, was
appointed as a sanitary inspector and health visitor from the 1st April.
Mr. T. H. Prescott, Grade B. Clerk, was promoted to Grade C from the
1st April.
Miss A. Bryant, Temporary Clerk, was appointed to Grade A from the
1st April.
Mr. G. R. Sumner, Sanitary Inspector, commenced duty on the 8th April.
Mr. W. F. R. Wheal, Sanitary Inspector, commenced duty on the
1st May.
Miss E. M. Little, who joined the staff on the 1st January, 1934, as a
Tuberculosis Visitor, was appointed as a Health Visitor from the
1st May.
Miss E. M. Plummer, who joined the staff as a Temporary Health Visitor
on the 18th February, was appointed a Tuberculosis Visitor from
the 28th July.

Miss M. F. Tyers, who joined the staff as a temporary Health Visitor on
the 2nd September, was appointed as a Health Visitor from the 1st

In conclusion, I desire to thank the Chairmen and members of the Health
Committees, and indeed all the members of the Council for their continued confidence
and support, and for the kindly and sympathetic way they have dealt with the
many problems it has been my duty to bring before them. It is an additional
pleasure to express my appreciation of the assistance given to me by every member
of the staff without whose loyalty and co-operation it would not be possible to
deal with the ever increasing duties and responsibilities placed upon the Department
as the years roll on.
I am,
Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. MACMILLAN,
Medical Officer of Health.
