INSPECTORIAL STAFF.
No change has taken place during 1903 in connection with the
Inspectorial Staff, which consists of 12 Male Inspectors (11
District Inspectors and 1 special Food and Drugs and Smoke
Inspector) and 1 Female Inspector. Inspector Emblin's appointment
has not yet been filled up. The Staff, individually
and collectively, has worked well during 1903, and the details of
this work, as set out in this Report, are satisfactory.
Supervision of Drainage.
A novel point has been raised during the year 1903 by the
London County Council with reference to Sanitary Inspectors
supervising the drainage of new buildings, i.e., supervising the
original construction of drainage works. It is held that such a
duty is not included in the General Order of the Local Government
Board, dated December 8th, 1891, and is not, therefore, one of
the duties of a Sanitary Inspector. Consequently, in connection
with such work, the London County Council refuses to pay
half the Salaries of Metropolitan Sanitary Inspectors.
