To the sympathetic co-operation of the Board of Guardians
I have already had occasion to refer, and it would be quite
impossible to oven-ate the value of the services rendered by them
and their officers in measures for preventing the spread of
infectious diseases.
The sub-district Registrars, Messrs. Barnes and Hume, and
the Vaccination Officer, Mr. Shattock, have, as usual, most
willingly complied with all my applications for information on
subjects connected with their several duties.
The members of the Sanitary Staff have discharged their
onerous, and in some respects dangerous, duties with zeal,
intelligence, and success. To Mr. Rudman, the Sanitary Clerk,
I am much indebted for the assistance he has rendered me in
passing this Report through the press.
Lastly, my thanks are due to your Vestry for a continuance of
the confidence and support which, for a period of fourteen years,
has never failed me, and which has enabled me to carry out, with
pleasure and satisfaction, the duties of my office, and to superintend
the working of a department the importance of which, I have
reason to believe, is now cordially recognized by the general
body of the ratepayers.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
T. ORME DUDFIELD,
Medical Officer of Health.
