CLERICAL WORK OF THE SANITARY DEPARTMENT.
17
Clerical Work of the Sanitary Department.
The clerical work of the Sanitary Department continues
to be somewhat heavy, and fully occupies the
time of Mr. James Curtis, the Senior Clerk of the
Department, and Mr. L. J. Carr. Mr. Carr was
appointed in June, 1898, succeeding Mr. H. E. Curtis,
who obtained a post in the Vestry Clerk's department
at a higher salary. A great deal of the work performed
by the Clerical staff scarcely admits of tabulation; that
which it is possible to state numerically is appended
below. The Clerical staff has worked with great
assiduity, fidelity, and ability, during the year.
