SANITARY STAFF.
In my Annual Report for 1911, mention was made of the increase in the
work of the Health Department and of the necessity of providing for coping
with it. Early in the year under consideration in this report, the matter came
before the Health Committee upon a reference from the Borough Council, and the
Committee instructed me to specially report to them upon the whole subject. My
report, copy of which is appended (page 85), was in due course considered by the
Committee, who recommended to the Council the appointment of two additiona
sanitary inspectors, another health visitor, and an additional clerk. These recommendations
were adopted by the Council, and the necessary steps were taken
to give them effect.
The Borough was divided into eight sanitary sub-districts, which are numbered
1 to 8 as shown upon a map submitted to and approved by the Health Committee.
The particulars as regards these sub-districts may be briefly stated as follows :—

a population of 14,665, and containing 129 buildings not used as dwellings, was
