Sanitary
Requisites.
t. The urgent necessity which exists for providing
clerical assistance in the Sanitary Department. The clerical
work is now thrown upon the Sanitary Inspectors, and necessarily
interferes greatly with the discharge of their proper duties ; the work in
this respect, even during the past two years has doubled itself, and
every year brings additional work in the keeping of fresh books and
making returns. The new Bye-laws for Houses let in Lodgings will also
add largely to the clerical work.
2. The necessity for taking steps to extend the provisions of the
Infectious Disease Notification Act to the Woolwich Garrison.
Conclusion.
I cannot close this report without alluding to the death of
the Senior Sanitary Inspector, J. Carty, which took place on the 9th
July, 1895. He had been ill for some time, but for many years he had
been connected with the Health work of the town, and had in earlier
days particularly, rendered very useful services.
I would again acknowledge the kindness and consideration I have
received from the Board and particularly from The Public Health
Committee, to the Chairman and Members of which I beg to tender my
thanks,
