    INTERIM REPORT Council Offices, 200, Oldham Road, Waterloo, Nr. Ashton-under-Lyne, August 1941. TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE Limehurst Rural District Council Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, I have the honour to submit for vour consideration an Interim Report, in place of the Annual Report, on the Health and Sanitary Conditions of the District for the year 1940, according to the instructions of the Ministry of Health, on similar lines to that of last year. The progress of the Health Services in the District continues to be limited on account of the War, particularly with regard to housing schemes of clearance and overcrowding. The Re-housing Scheme at Ney Street and Blucher Street, Waterloo, was completed in September. The organisation, administration and maintenance of the A.R.P. Casualty Services for the District involves progressive and detailed attention. I should like to offer my sincere thanks to the ladies who have attended the Child Welfare Centre and have voluntarily tendered such valuable assistance each week. 1 am greatly indebted to Mr. Dawson for his un¬ remitting and continued help, particularly with regard to the A.R.P. Casualty Services. To the Clerk, Surveyor and other Officials of the Council may I tender my thanks for their continued assistance and co-ope rati oil. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient sement, J. W. PICKUP, Acting Medical Officer of Health.
