Sanitary Work.
In the year 1881, 90 formal notices were served upon
the owners or occupiers of property, besides numerous
verbal recommendations to remedy sanitary defects.
In conclusion, I must again bear testimony to the
zeal and intelligence of your Inspector in the discharge
of his duties, and also to acknowledge the promptitude
with which the Relieving Officer of the district keeps
me informed of all infectious diseases coming under his
notice.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
JOHN J. SKEGG,
Medical Officer of Health.
29, Craven Street,
September, 1882.
