as Sanitary Inspector, but he has shewn himself thoroughlycompetent
for his new duties.
Plumstead may now be considered very well staffed as regards
male Sanitary Inspectors. There is only one desideratum for
the Sanitary Staff and that is a Lady Inspector, to visit houses
which are occupied by two or more families, and endeavour to
advance domestic hygiene; she would also visit places where
women are employed, such as dressmakers, laundries, &c.
This I hope the Vestry may consider at a future date.
94. In conclusion I have to acknowledge the very able and
devoted assistance I have received from the Chief Inspector,
the Health Committee Clerk, and all the Staff, and to thank
you, gentlemen, for the support accorded me in my wrork.
I have the honour to be, gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
SIDNEY DAVIES
