    Report ot the Medical Officer of Health for the Year, 193 To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Borough of Llanelly. Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen, I beg to submit my Annual Report for the year 1935 on the Health administration of the Borough. Shortly before the end of the year the overcrowding survey as required by the Housing Act, 1935, was begun. In view of the importance of the work I arranged that Mr. J. E. Marks, one of the Assistant Sanitary Inspectors, should supervise the six enumerators appointed to make the house-to-house inspections. A contract for completing the development of the Penyfan lands for housing purposes is in progress and when the scheme is completed in the autumn of 1936, 314 houses will have been constructed on this site. A scheme for 18 houses for re-housing the displaced tenants from the Caerelms Clearance Area is in progress at the Morfa site, and a further scheme for developing this site for houses to be provided under the 1930 and 1935 Housing Acts is before the Ministry of Health. The Corporation are now negotiating the purchase of lands in the Cefncaeau and Lliedi Valley area for the provision of houses under the 1935 Housing Act and to meet general requirements. I have again to record my thanks to the staff for their co- operation in the work of the Public Health Department. I am, Your obedient Servant, L. W. POLE, Medical Officer of Health. Health Department, Old Town Hall, Llanelly. June, 1936.
