An investigation into the financial status of
persons occupying Council Houses was very thoroughly
proceeded with by the Housing Committee,
and much work fell upon this Department in
consequence.
A new phase of local government work has
devolved upon this Department (as with others)
during the year by reason of the Air Raid Precautions
Act, and a most successful Air Raid Precautions
Exhibition was held for eight days in
September. Later I was given facilities to attend
the Falfield Civilian Anti-Gas School, and express
my thanks for the opportunity of receiving a
wonderful course of instruction.
The rapid development of the Borough keeps
all members of the Department very fully engaged,
and once again it is my pleasure to record my
grateful thanks to all members of the staff for the
keen interest shown in their duties, and the good
spirit which prevails in the Department.
I am also grateful to the Medical Officer of
Health, the Town Clerk, and Officials engaged in
other Departments for their helpful co-operation at
all times.
T am. Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
GEOFFREY McCLELLAND,
Chief Sanitary Inspector.
