I am indebted to Mr. G.C. Smith, Chief Public Health Inspector,
with special reference to Sections C- E, for assistance in compiling
the report.
At the time of going to press, I have just been appointed Medical
Officer of Health for the new Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames,
I would like to record here my grateful thanks to all loyal supporters
over many years of efforts to promote the health of the burgesses,
and my thanks too for the opportunity to help in the organising and
direction of the more comprehensive health services of the new Borough.
I record also my thanks for the support and encouragement I have
received in my present work, to The Worshipful The Mayor, Aldermen and
Councillors and to the Chairman of the Public Health Committee. I also
acknowledge my gratitude for the hard work and loyal support of the
staff of the Public Health Department, and the co-operation of Dr. W.H.

I have the honour to be,
Your obedient Servant,
