with temporary clerks, and the occasional assistance,
for which I was extremely grateful, of an
Inspector in a neighbouring Borough.
Tn addition to Civil Defence duties, which in
common with other officers, have brought added
work and responsibility, a careful watch has been
kept on all developments arising from the war
which may be prejudicial to the health of the people.
Shelters, both public, private and at industrial
buildings, have been regularly visited and many
extra sanitary conveniences and comforts for the
occupants secured. Officers responsible for other
Services have been extremely helpful in this
direction, and it is due to this good spirit of cooperation
that no serious troubles have gone unsolved.
Tn consequence of the foregoing the provisions
of the Food and Drugs Act, 1938, which cam© into
operation on the 1st October, 1939, could not be
set in motion.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
geoffrey McClelland,
Chief Sanitary Inspector.
