During the visit of inspection the River in the Hackney district
was covered with sewage over large areas of its surface,
and was, in fact, in a most disgraceful state.
In conclusion, I have to thank the Public Health and Maternity
and Child Welfare Committees for their support and kind
consideration, and I wish to express my appreciation of the
manner in which my staff have performed their duties.
I am,
Yours obediently,
G. H. DART,
Medical Officer of Health.
