Staff.
From January to June, 1901, the Sanitary Inspectors continued
their work in the districts to which they had been appointed before
the incorporation of the City. Some re-arrangement was necessary,
and eight districts were formed, and an Inspector assigned to each,
to be responsible for the execution therein of all the duties of a
Sanitary Inspector, except such as were allotted to two special
Inspectors. To these were given the carrying out of the provisions
of the Sale of Food and Drugs Act, the inspection of meat, &c., and
of street markets, and the execution of the sections of the Public
Health (London) Act dealing with smoke prevention. For these
purposes the City was divided into two parts, and Inspectors Dee
and Mc Nair were appointed. Both of these Inspectors have had
special training in dealing with food-stuffs, and hold the special
certificate granted by the Sanitary Institute for proficiency as Food
Inspectors.
The District Inspectors are :—
Conduit and Grosvenor Wards Inspector Taylor.
