size of each inspector's district in Plumstead is far in excess of
the average. So far, Plumstead has had a good reputation as
a healthy locality where sanitation took a very prominent
place; but this reputation must, necessarily, be lost, if the
staff of inspectors is allowed to fall below the requirements of
the place. I, therefore, desire to respectfully urge the recommendation
in my Report on the Reidhaven Road district, that
an additional Inspector be appointed.
68. I have to acknowledge the diligent and whole-hearted
way in which the Sanitary Inspectors, and the Committee
Clerk, have performed their duties.
69. I have also to thank the Chairman and members of the
Health Committee for the kind way in which my recommendations
have always been received.
1 have the honour to remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
SIDNEY DAVIES.
