EDMONTON URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL.
REPORT
of the
Chief Sanitary Inspector
For the YEAR 1923.
Public Health Department,
Town Hall, Edmonton.
To the Chairman and Members of the
Edmonton Urban District Council.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present to you my Report on the work done in the
Public Health Department for the year 1923 by your Inspectors and Staff.
MOTOR VEHICLES
The Council's Ford vehicles (two bedding vans, one Dixie 'bus and
ambulance) have been running well during the year.
The old Deasey ambulance, which was to be used as a stand-by only, has
been doing the whole of the ambulance work for three months (i.e. while the
new Ford Ambulance was lent for other service).
It made 57 journeys, and did its work exceedingly well. It will take
patients up the hill to the Hospital on top gear and on less petrol. This good
running condition is, no doubt, due to having an engineer-driver, who has done
many important repairs to the vehicles while in the garage, which must
otherwise have been done elsewhere,
