I would direct special attention to the figure of 26.3 per
1,000 registered births, as being most satisfactory and indicating
clearly the benefits derived from the Child Welfare work
carried on in the District.
As was the case in 1922, no great trouble was experienced
owing to the presence of flies and gnats in the District.
Special attention was again given to preventative measures,
including the improvement of the conditions obtaining at the
Refuse Shoot.
I desire to express my hearty thanks to the Council and
their Officers for the help and consideration they have shown
me. I should like also to place on record my appreciation of
the able assistance rendered by Mr. Pointon and all the members
of the Public Health Department Staff.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
P. N. CAVE,
Medical Officer of Health.
