    OFFICERS of the SANITARY AUTHORITY:-— The Clerk - - - Mr. R. B. TOLLETT. Sanitary Inspector & Building Surveyor— F. H. MARGERRISON, A.R.San.L, M.S.I.A. Additional Sanitary Inspector— F. A. LODGE, Cert. R., San. L, and Meat and other Foods (Cert.), M.S.I.A. Medical Officer of Health - ALAN MILNER, M.B. Ch. B. To the Chairman and Members of the Driffield Rural District Council. I herewith submit to you my Annual Report for the year 1938. It is an ordinary, abridged report, drawn up as suggested by the Minister of Health in his circular 1728 of 25th October, 1938. In general, 1938 has seen a steady continuance of the improvements mentioned in my last report in the re-housing of the people, and the provision of a piped water supply. The general health of the ])opulation has been good, and there have been no epidemics of infectious disease worthy of note. It is anticipated that when the use of the Council's water and the more extensive adoption of Avater closets becomes more general that sewage disposal will need very serious attention. In some villages sewage schemes have been prepared and the Avork completed.
