    Telephone Number: Knaresborough 2264 To the Chairman and Members of the Knaresborough Urban District Council. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have the honour to present for your consideration the Annual Report for the year 1966. As usual the Report deals with the work of your Health De- partment and the health of your district during the year. It also contains a section on the health services of the County Council health division and therefore provides a comprehensive handbook of all local authority health services for the area. Mr. Andrews took up his duties as your Public Health In- spector during the year in somewhat difficult circumstances, and I am greatly indebted to him for a great deal of help and advice. He has written the section of the report dealing with environmental hygiene. Infectious disease has given us little trouble during the year, and the continued progress in clearing up and redeveloping the worn out property in the town will ensure that Knaresborough continues to be a healthy place in which to live. I am greatly indebted to the Chairman and members of the Council, to the Clerk and my fellow officers, and to the staff for a great deal of kindness and help. I have the honour to be, Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, N. V. HEPPLE, Medical Officer of Health. Knaresborough House, Knaresborough.
