Mr. Clark was subsequently appointed to the permanent staff to take
over the District vacated by Mr. Robinson.
The Public Health Committee recommended the continuance of the
house-to-house inspections but decided, in order to spread the work
throughout the Borough, that each District Sanitary Inspector be asked
to carry out house-to-house inspections in his area each month. This
scheme also had the advantage of ensuring that a large number of
sanitary notices would not be served at one and the same time on an
individual landlord—this tends to delay the execution of work.
The Public Health Committee also recommended that an additional
Sanitary Inspector be appointed and the Inspectors' areas made smaller,
so that the general work in the area as a whole should not suffer.
The tenement, etc., properties in Kilburn, West End and Fleet Road
areas would thus be substantially covered by each of six District
Inspectors, in whose areas they are included.

The following table summarises the house-to-house inspections carried out from the 1st February, 1949, to the 30th November, 1950.
