    A slight increase in the infant death-rate: A continued increase in the mortality from Cancer (Malignant Disease): A slight fall in the mortality from Tuberculosis par- ticularly in that from those forms of the disease affecting bones, joints, glands, &c. General sanitary measures for the improvement of environment have been actively undertaken. But, as the Report shew^s, much remains tO' be done and in some instances I may have tO' ask your Committee to bring pressure to bear. I am, as ever, indebted to your Committee, to my brother officials and tO' my staff for generous assistance in work which has grown literally enormously during the seventeen years I have been with you. Both Dr. Jean Shaw and I are most grateful for the magnificent help given by those voluntary helpers who assist under the Maternity and Child Welfare Scheme. But for them it would be next to impossible to carry on. lam, Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, MEREDITH YOUNG. 43, Foregate Street, Chester, September, 1926.
