Re-afrangement of Inspectors' Districts.
The temporary engagement of Mr. Foster in the Public
Health Department having ceased on June 30th last, and the
majority of houses let in lodgings being almost complete, I
suggested to the Public Health Committee the desirability of
re-arranging the districts of the three sanitary inspectors,
with the view of more nearly equalizing their work, of avoiding
overlapping, and of making each inspector responsible for
all departments of the work in the district assigned to him,
and of making each officer responsible for four months out of
the year for the carrying out of the Food and Drugs Acts.
After due consideration, the Committee were unanimously
of opinion, the preparatory work of measurement and registration
being done, that a re-distribution such as suggested
would conduce to the more economic working of the department,
and they therefeore recommended, that until further
orders, the districts of the several inspectors be those indicated
in the following tabular statement, and that each
inspector be responsible for the whole of the work arising in
connection with the two wards allotted him.
