(d) Clerical work in connection with outworkers (Card
Index System).
(e) Posting up Workshop Register (Loose Leaf System).
4th Assistant Clerk.— Mr. H. A. Saunders.
The duties of this Officer are as follows:—
(a) Preparation of Intimation and Statutory Notices
from Inspectors report papers.
(b) Preparation of notices under the Housing and Town
Planning Act, 1909, from specifications prepared by
Sanitary Inspectors.
(c) Serving Statutory Notices within the Borough.
(d) Posting up the Tenement House Register.
Junior Clerk.—Mr. H. W. Pendrill
Performs the usual duties of an office youth.
In addition to the staff of inspectors and clerks
above described, we have a regular staff of four disinfectors
constantly engaged in the disinfection and
purification of rooms, bedding and wearing apparel, and
articles of all descriptions.
Our staff of "combined drainage" men, which of
necessity varies with the amount of work in hand, has
steadily decreased to the comparatively small number of
four, a relief satisfactory from the financial aspect, as
well as showing the large amount of work done and
completed towards the re-drainage of the Borough.
With the addition of a Mortuary Keeper, the above
completes the staff of the Department as at present
organised.
Weekly Staff.
