The result of the Inquiry held in October 1934
by H. McGregor Wood, Esq., A.R.I.B.A., following
my official Representation under Part I of the
Housing Act, 1930, in respect of 10 clearance areas
comprising 74 houses was that the Ministry of
Health confirmed the Orders in respect of Areas
Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10; and an undertaking
was accepted in respect of Area No. 2. The Order
for Area No. 8 was not confirmed.
The attraction of the Surbiton Lagoon is still
great, in spite of the none too favourable weather
conditions last year, and the samples taken of the
water were satisfactory.
During the year 17 persons were examined by
the Medical Officer for entrance into the Superannuation
Scheme and 2 for posts outside that Scheme.
Seven persons were examined for the purposes
of the Superannuation Scheme by outside doctors
and none for other posts.
I have to thank Mr. McClelland, your Chief
Sanitary Inspector, and the remainder of the Staff,
for their valuable help during the year.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
N. H. LINZEE,
Medical Officer of Health.
