Annual Report of the Medical Officer of Health,—1893. 41
portion is in accordance with the rateable value
or sWiliST £300 2 10 0
Therefore, the total paid by the Vestry under the new
arrangement would be £302 10 0
showing a profit to the Vestry of £57 10s. in money,
together with increased efficiency. It must also be
borne in mind that the Vestry contributes in its rates
to the salaries of other local inspectors, and therefore,
if it does not take advantage of the same privileges it
is acting against its own interests. I cannot state the
amount paid out of the Parish rates towards the salaries
of the inspectors for all London paid for out of the
County Fund, but it would not affect the principle of
the above calculation.
Being away from my office, I am only able to put the matter briefly, but I shall be
glad to give any additional information, if required, when I return next week.
Yours faithfully,
G. GOMME.
Dr. Waldo, Medical Officer,
St. George's, Southwark.
Now that the new arrangement has been adopted Mr. Gomme's letter has a
special interest.
