(1) The room at present used by Mr. Butland, who could be provided
for in the General Office; or
(2) The room formerly used as the inspection clinic for school
children, and later (up to a year ago) by the War Pensions Committee;
or
(3) The room on the first floor called "The Chairman's Room."

will be in training for the higher berths, if he develops good qualities.
In the Town Hall Yard—
1.—The Sanitary Store-keeper and House Disinfector—Mr. J. Madle.
2.—The Mortuary, Laboratory Attendant, and Steam Disinfector—

the Hospital by motors. This is the system which has been in vogue by the
Metropolitan Asylums Board and our own Hospital at Clare Hall for years
past. Why should Winchmore Hill lag behind? Offer them our motor
ambulance as an inducement for the Enfield and Edmonton Joint Board to
