    Sanitary Inspector’s Report, 1939. To the Sanitary Inspector’s Office, Town Hall, 1940. Right Worshipful the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the City of Peterborough. Madam Mayor, Mrs. Councillor Wood and Gentlemen, Herewith I have pleasure in submitting my Annual Report for 1939, being my Twenty-ninth Annual Report. The outbreak of War in September naturally had the effect of curtailing the usual routine work of the Department though every effort was made to maintain all the essential services and particularly that of Meat and Food Inspection ; also all members of the Department assist in certain A.R.P. Services. Under the Government Evacuation Scheme a number of unaccompanied school children and mothers and children were received in the City in September. Practically all the billets were inspected and action taken where such was found to be necessary. Mr. A. Morton, Clerk, a member of the Territorial Army, was called up for service on the outbreak of War and his place was taken by Miss J. Wollen. In the early months of the year inspections of the Theatres and Cinemas, Ice-cream Manufacturing Premises, and Offices, were made. Smoke Abatement also received attention, and a special inspection was made of the few Van dwellings in the City— necessary action being taken in certain cases.
