November, 1898, the late Vestry commenced to elect newly-appointed Sanitary
Inspectors, also Inspectors under the Sale of Food and Drugs Acts, and
Inspectors Newlyn (November, 1898), West (May, 1898), Landen (May, 1898),
and Warwick (October, 1899) were so appointed.
In November, 1899, the late Vestry appointed two special Food Inspectors,
namely, Inspectors Auger and Warwick, and the Sanitary Inspectors ceascd
to take samples. After this date certain newly-appointed Sanitary Inspectors
were appointed under the old resolution in error, the words " Inspector under
the Sale of Food and Drugs Act" not having been struck out, although it had
been decided that they were unnecessary, but these Inspectors never took any
samples under the Food and Drugs Acts. They were Inspectors Lonnon
(November, 1899), Brown (November, 1899), Child (March 1900), and
Johnston (April, 1900). The words " Inspector under the Sale of Food and
Drugs Act " were subsequent to this year struck out of the resolution of
appointment as unnecessary, and the following Inspectors were appointed
Sanitary Inspectors without the additional words, namely, Inspectors Dillon
(January, 1901), Storer (January, 1901), Walker (April, 1901), James
(permanent, November, 1902), Holmes (permanent, November, 1902), Adkins
(April, 1904), and Thompson (October, 1909).
In the meantime, to go back a little, upon the resignation of Inspector
Warwick, in April, 1900, Inspector Osborne was appointed a Food Inspector
in his place, and on 30th October, 1901, Inspector Child was appointed a Food
Inspector in the place of Inspector Auger, who during the small-pox epidemic
and some time after, acted as Special Inspector. In March, 19u6, Inspector
Auger was reinstated as Food Inspector and District Inspector in part of his
former District.
The following are the Reports of the Inspectors of Food and Food
Premises:—
