    SLEAFORD. 1st June, 1949. Mr. Chairman, Lady and Gentlemen, i beg to present to you my Annual Report for the year 1948. The statistics submitted call for little comment, and on the whole tho health of the community has been excellent. Thcro wore no serious epidemics although towards the end oi the year a considerable number of cases of mumps occurred. There was one case of Acute Poliomyelitis, but I am pleased to say the child concerned made an excellent recovery. Housing still remains one of the major problems to be dealt with but I am pleased to say that considerable strides havc^ been made in tho erection of new houses and at any rate an appreci¬ able proportion of those families awaiting accommodation have now been housed. I must record my appreciation of the work ol all members of the Public Health Staff, the Clerk of the Council an other officials and thank the members of the Council for their help and encouragement in any suggestions I have had to make. I am, Sir, Lady and Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, JOHN V/. SCHOLEY. Medical Officer of Health. 2
