The sub-district Registrars, Messrs. Barnes and Hume, and
the Vaccination Officer, Mr. Shattock, have, as usual, readily
complied with my applications for information on subjects
connected with their several duties.
The Sanitary Inspectors have discharged their onerous, and
in some respects perilous, duties with zeal, intelligence, and
success. To Mr. Rudman, the Sanitary Clerk, I am much
indebted, among other things, for assistance rendering in passing
this Report through the press.
But above all, my thanks are due to your Vestry for continuance
of confidence which, now for seventeen years, has
enabled me to carry out, with pleasure and satisfaction, the
duties of my office, and to superintend the work of a Department
the importance of which, I believe, is now generally recognized.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
T. ORME DUDFIELD,
Medical Officer of Health,
Offices : Town Hall,
