I wish to express appreciation of the valuable work performed
by my staff throughout the year. Notwithstanding the additional
duties and responsibilities devolving upon the Department in connection

Finally, I desire to acknowledge the continued support of the
Chairmen and Members of the Public Health and Maternity and
Child Welfare Committees.
I am,
Yours obediently,
G. H. DART,
Medical Officer of Health.
