the understanding that he devote the whole of his time to the duties
of his office ; and that in the event of Dr. Millson retiring from
office through old age or other infirmity of body it is understood and
agreed that the length of service of Dr. Millson is to be reckoned,
for the purpose of calculating his superannuation, from the date of
his original appointment, viz. the 9th November 1887; and that this
resolution be sealed by the Vestry and handed to Dr. Millson.
That the reappointment of Dr. Millson take place at the meeting of the
Vestry to be held on the 10th July next, in accordance with the
requirements of Article 8 of the General Order of the 8th December 1891.
At the same meeting the salaries of the four last appointed Sanitary
Inspectors—Messrs. Bullock, Selby, Howes and Bush—were
increased from £105 to £115 per annum, "having regard to the
"fact that their salaries were somewhat below the average salaries
"paid to Sanitary Inspectors in other metropolitan parishes." This
increase of salary arose out of the application for extra remuneration
in connection with the inspection of market places, as referred to at
p. 42 of the preceding Report. The first annual increment of £5
on the salaries of these officers was just then coining due, and the
additional £10 granted brought them two years nearer to the attainment
of their maximum of £150.
The resignations of Dr. Millson and Mr. Long were duly
handed in and accepted on the 10th July, when the Vestry unanimously
agreed:—
That in accordance with the resolution of the Vestry of the 2Gth ultimo,
Dr. George Millson be, and he is hereby reappointed Medical Officer
of Health at the commencing salary of £600 per annum, rising to
£750 by annual increments of £25, on the understanding that he
devote the whole of his time to the duties of the office, as defined by
the Sanitary Officers (London) Order of the 8th December, 1891.
That in accordance with the resolution of the Vestry of the 26th ultimo,
Mr. Alfred Long, the Chief Sanitary Inspector, be and he is hereby
reappointed at his present salary of £200 per annum, on the understanding
that he devote the whole of his time to the duties of his office
as defined by the Sanitary Officers (London) Order of the 8th
December, 1891.
The sanction of the Local Government Board to the appointment
of Mr. Long was communicated to the Vestry on the 27th November,
and to that of Dr. Millson on the 11th December 1895.
Mr. Spencer Bush, Sanitary Inspector for St. Peter's Ward,
