Gentlemen, During the year 1909 there arrived at the Port of Workington 104 foreign and 1234 coasting vessels. thnre '• Three foreign together with 979 coasting vessels arrived at the rort of Harrington. All the foreign vessels were carefully inspected together with a large number of the coasters, and I am fortunately able to state no case of infectious disease has entered either port during the year. The vessels were found in a good sanitary condition a few required cleansing, which was done before leaving the Port. The Docks and Harbours are kept in their usual clean state. The Hospital on Merchants Quay is in good order and ready for use at any time. » I have to congratulate you on the clean bill of health as set out in the above report. h 3 I have to acknowledge the valuable assistance given ■ me by your Inspector on all occasions. Yours faithfully, (sgd) I.C.Hodgson M.D.C.M. Medical Officer of Health
