The collection of the additional number of
samples for analysis added considerably to the duties
of Sanitary Inspector Oatley, and it was found
necessary to provide him with assistance in the
supervision of the collection of dust. His salary was
at the same time, with the sanction of the Local
Government Board, re-allocated as follows:—£110 to
his duties under the Sale of Food and Drugs Act, instead
of £70; and £90 to his duties connected with
the removal of house and trade refuse. By this

towards his salary will be increased from £35
