CLERICAL STAFF.
The permanent Clerical Staff consists of 4 Clerks—1 first
class (W. R. Lawrence), 2 seconed class (Messrs. A. 1..
Baxter and W. J. Lawrence), and 1 boy clerk (Albert E.
Ruel), but an extra temporary boy clerk (VV. E. Croley) has
been employed during the year 1909 on account of the increased
clerical work thrown upon the Department in connection
with the new Offices at the New Town Hall (Public
Health Department), the Notification of Births Act, the
Public Health (Tuberculosis) Regulations and the duties
of the Health Visitor.
