any new departure, I must congratulate the Council on their
appointment of Miss Radford.
Another improvement has been much discussed during
the year, and what I said in my preface to the Annual
Report for 1907 still holds good, viz.:— "The provision of
a dust destructor for the better disposal of the town's refuse
has received much attention from the Council, and if the
site could be settled, another much-needed improvement
would soon be decided."
The new block at the Isolation Hospital has been
opened during the past year, providing accommodation for
another 26 patients.
For the efficient carrying out of the Education
(Administrative Provisions) Act, 1907, more medical
assistance is urgently required. Until that is provided it is
obviously impossible to carry out the requirements of the
Board of Education.
Once again I should like to express my thanks to the
Council for their consistent support, to the other officials
for their assistance, and especially to the officials of the
Public Health Department, including, of course, the
Hospital, for their help in carrying out the various work
connected with the Department.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
C. F. STOVIN,
Medical Officer of Health.
