The increased office accommodation provided by the Council for
myself and staff is a decided improvement and I wish to thank the
Council for this consideration.
The private telephonic communication with the hospital is now
almost complete and the benefit to be derived from this alone, will,
I am sure, be greatly appreciated, both by the public as well as the
officials.
My assistants, I am pleased to say, continue to carry out their
duties, which at times require the utmost tact and courtesy, in a
most satisfactory manner.
In concluding, I desire to express my thanks for the continued
support I have received from my Committee and the Council.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
RICHARD JOHN BUTLAND,
Inspector of Nuisances.
