CONCLUSION.
I trust that this Report has in a concise manner represented
the work done by the Public Health Authority during the year; a
year in many respects unique in that the State and the people are
still suffering from the grievous wounds of a devastating War, as
shown by the very unstable equilibrium of minds, morals and
material evident everywhere.
My Staffs in this Department and at the Hospital have done
good work with the least possible friction, and I think are to be
congratulated on their results. That work of the Department,
which is controlled by the Surrey County Council, has proceeded
amicably ; at the same time one would welcome the time when the
Urban District of Barnes became the Local Education Authority.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
B. C. STEVENS.
February 20th, 1920.
P.S.—At the request of the Ministry of Health, the Council's
Housing Scheme has been added to this Report in a detachable form
for filing and reference by the Ministry. B.C.S.
