HEALTH VISITORS.
On the 4th of September the Local Government
Board issued the Health Visitor's (London) Order,
1909, made under the County Council (General Powers)
Act, 1908. This Order makes regulations as to the
qualifications, mode of appointment, tenure of office,
duties, etc., of Health Visitors, and was accompanied
by an explanatory circular letter from the Board which,
inter alia, states that the Board consider the salary
paid the officer should not be less than £100 per
annum.
NOTIFICATION OF BIRTHS ACT, 1907.
On the 18th of October the Local Government Board
compulsorily put in force this Act within this Borough
and the Boroughs of Camberwell, Chelsea, Hackney,
Hammersmith, Lewisham, and Wandsworth. The Act
came into force in December last and will not be reported
upon until next year.
SANITARY STAFF.
I have much pleasure in again placing upon record
my warm appreciation of the good work accomplished
by your Sanitary Staff; the Inspectors are capable and
energetic, and they carry out their (sometimes disagreeable)
duties courteously and with a minimum of friction.
The Chief Inspector is an expert letter writer and
manages to get his notices obeyed with very little help
from Old Street Police Court.
