Housing: The most striking development here is the change
of character in the new houses which are going up in every
corner where the smallest nlot can be used. TTow so-called
maisonettes with small rooms and minimal accommodation
are taking the place of normal sized rooms and family
accommodation.
The larger commodious houses of bygine age are being
demolished and in the gardens 6-12 or more small blocks of
maisonettes appearing.
The new community will have to be absorbed and municipal
services provided.
This is a sign of a thriving community.
Staff: Details of the staff and changes during the year
are to be found on page 1.
In conclusion I take pleasure in according thanks to the
Chairman and Members of the Public Health Committee for their
support of the work of the Public Health Department, and to
Mr. Eldridge, the Public Health Inspectors, Mr. Elms and the
Staff of the Department for their hard work and loyal support
throughout the year.
I have the honour to be Mr. Mayor,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J.W. STARKEY,
Medical Officer of Health.
