During the year all grades of your Staff carried out their duties in a highly
satisfactory manner. Dr. Kidd retired on superannuation after 25 years' service as
a Boarding Medical Officer and Mr. Lambe retired similarly after 34 years' service
as a Sanitary Inspector. The ripe experience of these officers has been very valuable,
but you have senior officers capable of taking their places and junior officers whose
ability and keenness will ensure that the standard of work is maintained.
The health work of so large a Port could not be carried out by a comparatively
small Staff without the co-operation of the Officers of His Majesty's Customs, the
Port of London Authority, the Pilots and the members of the Staffs of the Shipping
Companies and Merchants, and their assistance and courtesy is gratefully acknowledged.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
CHARLES F. WHITE.
