Report of the Medical Officer of Health for 1936.
During the year vacancies in the office staff occurred as a
result of the appointment of Mr. Leacock as Sanitary Inspector,
by the sudden death of Mr. G. L. Humphreys and by the resignation
of Miss F. M. Woodhall.
Mr. C. E. Gessner was transferred from the Borough Engineer's
Department to fill the vacancy caused by the promotion of Mr.
Leacock and the other vacancies were filled by the appointment
of Mr. L. V. Webb and Miss M. J. Richards, the latter having worked
as a temporary Clerk in the Department since June, 1935.
In order to cope with the increased clerical work of the Department
the Council decided that it was necessary to appoint two
additional clerks instead of continuing to employ temporary
assistance. Accordingly, Mr. S. F. Jennings and Mr. A. A. Rees,
who had been acting as temporary clerks for some months,.were
appointed on the permanent establishment.
Mr. C. I. F. Batt, Engineer.in.charge of the Disinfecting
Station, resigned in October to take up another appointment.
The vacancy was filled by the appointment of Mr. R. E. Gale, who
had been Foreman at the Station for eight years.
Mr. W. T. Willimott, Food Inspector, was awarded a First
Class Pass and the prize given by the Worshipful Company of
Poulterers in an examination on "The Selection and Preparation
of Game and Poultry" held at the Smithfield Meat Trades
Institute.
