THE SANITARY STAFF.
As mentioned in my last Annual Report the Council approved
of the vacancy in the staff being filled, and on 6th April Mr. Kemp,
of Chelsea, was appointed Sanitary Inspector. Mr. Kemp commenced
his duties on 1st May.
I regret to report the death of J. Sales, one of the assistant disinfectors
during the year. He was in the Council service some years,
and was a very trustworthy man.

the vacancy.
