VII.—INSPECTORS' WORK.
Subjoined appears a summary of the Inspectors'
work during the past year. It will be seen that no less
than 8,905 visits have been paid by them, as against
7,904 in 1904, 8,083 in 1903, 9,244 in 1902, 7,777 in
1901, and 5,628 in 1900.
I have again to bear testimony to the extreme care
and accuracy, and the unceasing vigilance which each
Inspector displays in the carrying out of his arduous,
and very often extremely unpleasant duties.
