Public Elementary Schools.
By an arrangement between the Council and
the Education Committee, I have all the sanitary
arrangements attached to the non-provided
schools regularly cleansed and flushed each day,
while we also make periodical inspections of the
sanitary conveniences at the Provided Schools,
and report as to their condition to the Education
Committee.
Owing to the severe outbreak of Diphtheria
which took place at the latter part of the year,
your staff were kept so fully occupied dealing
with these cases that the ordinary inspections of
dwellings and registered premises could not be so
closely followed up, but every endeavour was

The Staff of the Sanitary Department now
consists, in addition to myself, of the following
Officers:—
Mr. Fred Wilson, 1st Assistant.
Mr. T. M. Boswell, 2nd Assistant.
Mr. Noel Smith, 1st Clerk.
Mr. S. Coulter, 2nd Clerk.
I should like to take this opportunity to
acknowledge and thank them for the ready help
which they have always given me, and the
interest displayed in their work. I also include
