Sir Shirley F. Murphy,
Principal Medical Officer,
London County Council,

Dear Sir,
Infant Mortality and Appointment of Sanitary
Inspector.
I beg to inform you that the Council of this Borough
has, on the recommendation of the Public Health
Committee, decided to appoint a Female Sanitary
Inspector. As the duties of the proposed Officer will
shortly be under consideration by the Committee I
enclose herewith a memorandum of such duties as I
think should be performed by the Officer, in addition
to those strictly laid down in the Order of the Local
Government Board defining the duties of Sanitary
Inspectors. I shall be much obliged if you will look
through my list of proposed duties and give me your
opinion as to which of them would be likely to be
approved by the Examiner of Claims when the question
of recoupment is before him.
