clerical and much special sanitary work has been ably carried out
by Mr. Rudman. Of Dust-Inspector Gaylard's services I have
already spoken; and the disinfecting-officer is doing his work
well. The Vaccination Officer, Mr. Shattock, and the aub-district
Registrars of Births and Deaths (Mr. C. R. Barnes and Mr.
Hume), have on all occasions shewn the utmost readiness to afford
me every assistance and information in their respective departments—while
from several members of the official poor law
staff, I have received much valuable help, which I take this
opportunity of acknowledging. Lastly, I desire also to express
my grateful sense of the manner in which my own efforts in
the discharge of the duties of my office have been appreciated
and supported by your Vestry.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
T. ORME DUDFIELD, M.D.,
Medical Officer of Health.
To the Yestry of Kensington,
October, 1877.
