Periodical circular letters and reminders with regard to

are all dealt with systematically, but I have found the clerical
work of the department exceptionally heavy at times, and necessitating
evening work to cope with the same.
In conclusion, I wish to express my indebtedness to the
Chairman and members of the Council for the support which has
been extended to me in carrying out the duties of my offices, and
for the valuable help rendered to me by my colleagues.
I beg to remain, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. LEWIS, M. In. M. & Cy. Eng r.
Building Surveyor and Sanitary Inspector.
