Appointment of an additional Lady Inspector.
Out of a considerable number of applicants Miss S. W.

general work to be done in the vacation owing to absence on
leave of members of the inspectorial staff, that the exact
scope of Miss Limont's ordinary duties has had to be deferred
for a few weeks, during which time she will obtain a knowledge
of the district and of the whole routine of practical
sanitary work carried on in a Metropolitan Borough.
