Reference was made in the introductory letter to this report to the sad
death in November of Mr. T. W. Girling, Sanitary Inspector to Sanitary
District, No. 6.
Mr. Sickelmore, Inspector to No. 3 District, was compelled, owing to
ill health to resign his appointment at the end of June. Neither of these
vacancies have been filled.
Owing to the increase in the number of milk allowances it became
necessary to obtain further assistance in connection with the work of verifying
statements as to income made by applicants, and Mr. C. A. Newson was
accordingly appointed temporary Enquiry Officer. He commenced his duties
in June.
As explained in the last Report the laundry instituted during 1931 in the
basement of the Welfare Centre was to be closed, subject to alternative
employment being found for the staff. The following arrangements were
made to this end:—Mrs. Whittington was transferred to the staff of the
Welfare Centre, Mrs. Durling undertook cleaning duties in the new building,
and Mr. Davies returned to the service of the Baths Committee.
