Tlie Corporation have continued to be responsible for the gi’eater proportion of the monetary relief afforded to those suffering from tuberculosis, and it seems inevitable that this state of affairs v ill have to continue until such time as the national reorganisation of the social services takes place. Active treatment for tuberculosis cases at the Sanatorium is still one of the features of that institution, and the visits of a Thoracic Surgeon have improved the extent of the work practised. For other information relating to the work of the department I would refer the readers to the body of the Report. It is hoped that the paper restrictions may be relaxed before the next Report is due for publication, in order that the health conditions pertaining to the Borough may be more fully set forth. % I am. Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, GORDON LILICO.
