The Clerks were instructed to cease to write the Inspectors' diaries and
instead to write out all their rotices, and the First Clerk instead of the Special
Inspector to receive and distribute to the other Clerks for entry and to the
several Inspectors for attention all complaints, notifications, removals, etc., and
to collect them again for the purpose of being docketed or filed.
On the 30th January, 1907, it was resolved by the Public Health Committee
that an instruction be given to the Inspectors, when watching chimneys for
evidence of smoke nuisance, not to spend more than half-an-hour, unless the
nuisance is actually being committed, and it is consequently necessary for
their observations to be prolonged.
