29. I advised the Board that it was very important these
should be immediately made known to builders; I also drew up
an improved list of instructions to builders based on the bye-laws,
but it was thought better to leave this matter till the Vestry
came into power, and I believe no steps have yet been taken to
make the bye-laws known.
New Inspectors.
30. In the latter part of the year I reported to the Committee
that the Inspector for West Plumstead was inefficient and in
consequence he was called on to resign. The Inspector for East
Plumstead also resigned. As a result two new appointments
were made in January 1894, and on the request of the Committee
I reported on the suitability of the different candidates. Messrs.
Martin and Rance were chosen. Both hold the certificate of
the Sanitary Institute and have had some previous experience in
the duties of the post.
31. Mr. Duck, Chief Inspector, and Mr. Ellis, Sanitary Clerk
have continued to perform their duties with untiring devotion.
I have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
SIDNEY DAVIES.
