FEMALE SANITARY INSPECTOR.
Much good work has been clone during 1902 by the Female
Sanitary Inspector (Miss Gamble)— work that justifies the appointment
of such an officer by the Borough Council on October
3rd, 1902.
Factories, Workshops, Work-places, Shops, Out-workers'Homes
Laundries, etc., wherein women and girls are employed, are now
systematically inspected, and much-needed work accomplished
in connection therewith; whilst the Underground Conveniences
(belonging to the Council) and Sanitary Conveniences (in connection
with Railway Stations) are visited frequently.
The work may be tabulated as follows:—
