![ST. ALBANS RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL REPORT OF THE CHIEP PUBLIC HEALTH INSPECTOR TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE ST. ALBANS RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honour to present my report on the work carried out by the Counci]’s Public Health Department during 1970. The year was a quiet one with no serious public health problems emerging. One would like to think this is due to sound day-to-day routine and constant vigilance, The year was the first full year of operation of the Housing Act, 1969. The new grant provisions have stimulated interest in improvements, though national publicity has over-simplified matters to a point where ratepayers are genuinely aggrieved when their particular case is found, on investigation, not to fall for grant. The concessions to landlords of property let at controlled rents has resulted in better maintenance in order for the owners to qualify for the enhanced rents. I would like to record my sincere appreciation of the work carried out by members of the staff, and also to thank fellow officers of the Council for their co-operation throughout the year. To the Chairman of the Public Health, Lighting and Safety Committee, and all councillors, I would like to express my thanks for their support and enlightened understanding of local public health problems. I am. Your obedient servant, LESLIE LOWE Chief Public Health Inspector GENERAL SANITATION WATER SUPPLIES (a) Public The supplies of water distributed in the area by the statutory under¬ takers have been satisfactory in quality, and sufficient in quantity, and](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b30124670_0019.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
