this view, which is founded on the report made to them by their Inspector,
I)r. Sweeting, after his inquiry into the sufficiency of the staff of Sanitary
Inspectors in the Borough.
"In the Board's opinion, the proposal of the Borough Council to readjust the
Food Inspectors districts, and to allocate the Grospel Oak Sub-division to one
of the Food Inspectors for sanitary purposes, will not sufficiently relieve the
pressure of work in the North Division, where regular house-to-house inspection
and more extended registration of tenement houses are especially needed.
"The Board must, therefore, urge the Borough Council to reconsider the
matter with a view to appointing an additional Sanitary Inspector.
"The Board request that, at as early a date as possible, they may be informed
of the result of the Borough Council's further consideration of the question.

Your obedient Servant,
