    conditions of those who have to live in the areas and the more emergency treatments are called for when houses collapse, water pipes are stolen and outside toilets stripped of their fittings. There was a decided change in policy on the improvement of houses. The giving of grants for environmental improvement was something new, and because of the extended life given to these areas it is anticipated owners will be more willing to improve their houses. A programme of General Improvement Areas has been formulated and detailed work in the scheme has commenced. I take this opportunity of thanking all members of my staff who have worked with great intensity during the year and are worthy of encouragement from the Health Committee. I should also like to put on record the very great support which I have received from the Chairman and Vice-Chairman and each Member of the Health Committee which is very much appreciated. I am, Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, JOHN G. CAIRNS, Medical O fficer of Health
