THE STAFF.
The staff of the department has been much depleted on account of the
enlistment of a number of its members, as shown in the following list:—
Name. Office. Date of Joining the Colours.
J.I.Lonnon Sanitary Inspector 2nd Nov.
E.J.Dillon „ 21st Sept.
R.E.James „ 30th Nov.
G.W.Adkins „ 26th Nov.
B.H.Thompson ,, 4th Aug., 1914
P.W.Pottier Junior Clerk and Tem- 7th Nov.
porary Sanitary Inspector
H.F.Mullis Clerk 5th Nov.
G.N.Cove „ 5th Nov.
J. Molloy Junior Clerk 26th Oct., 1914
The staff of male sanitary inspectors is further diminished by the fact that
the vacancy caused by the death in 1914 of Mr. J. Osborne has not been filled.
Whereas before the war there were 15 male inspectors in the department,
there are now 9. Of these, one acts as food inspector, one partly as food
inspector and partly as district inspector, one as factory and workshop inspector,
and 6 as district inspectors. The normal number of district inspectors
is 12.
Mr. C.Batter and Mr. W.C.Harvey continued to act during 1915 as
temporary clerks.
On 10th February, 1915, Mr. W.G. Auger, formerly part-time food
inspector and part-time district inspector, was appointed whole time food
inspector for the West and South Divisions of the Borough, and inspector
under the Canal Boats Acts. He had been acting in the latter capacities since
December, 1914.
