therefore of opinion that the four temporary Inspectors should now ho
permanently appointed to the sanitary staff.
This permanent alteration must of necessity considerably increase
the clerical work of the department, which would he provided for by
the appointment of two clerks.
The temporarily increased clerical work has been met since July
1885, by the two clerks and messenger working overtime, for which
overtime they have, of course, been paid, and which rendered unnecessary
the employment of the temporary clerk at 30s. per week
authorised by the Vestry.
Should the four temporary Inspectors be permanently appointed
the staff for out-door work would consist of eight Inspectors, including
the Inspector of Dust, whose duties the Committee now propose shall
be shared by all.
It is proposed to divide the parish into eight districts, each
comprising on an average 40,000 inhabitants, and about 5,000 houses.
To each separate district an Inspector would be appointed who should
undertake the supervision of the dusting and all other sanitary matters
in connection with the division assigned to him from time to time.
Your Committee have also had under consideration tho question
of the salaries now paid to the four permanent Inspectors, and having
regard to their long, faithful and thoroughly efficient services, and to
the salaries paid to Sanitary Inspectors elsewhere, they feel that they
cannot do less than recommend them a moderate addition to their
present salary, which is only 40s. per week.
In pursuance, therefore, of your Committee's opinions, as expressed
in this Report, they submit the following recommendations:—
1. That the four temporary Inspectors now in the employment of
the Vestry, viz., Messrs. Arthur Perry, Tom Anderson, William
Rolfe, and George Morgan, be appointed Inspectors of
Nuisances and Sanitary Inspectors, at a commencing salary
of 34s. per week each from 1st January, 1886, with an
annual increase of 4s. per week to a maximum of 50s.
