In this year the work began for the survey of the first Smoke-Control Area
in the borough, details of which can be found in the body of the Report. From
this beginning it is hoped that the smoke-free area will expand in ever growing
circles until the atmosphere is free at least from visible atmospheric pollution.
There is something quite stimulating about three items in this preamble ac
it gives rise to a vision of a borough without slums, with clear bright air and
shining unpolluted buildings, and with every facility immediately available for
the help of old people who have fallen on evil times. I consider that 1958 has
been a good year for this borough.
I am grateful to many persons for material included in this Report and a
list of their names is given below. I would like to thank also the Chairman and
Members of the Public Health Committee without whose goodwill and enthusiasm
progress could not be made, and also the Chief Public Health Inspector, the
Chief Clerk and all the Staff of the Public Health Department for their work
throughout the year and for all they have done to make this Report comprehensive
and accurate.
I am, Your Worship, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,

Medical Officer of Health
