54. The following changes were made in the duties of the
staff :—
Mr. Collyer, clerk, joined the Army and a temporary female
clerk was appointed to take his place. Miss Wheeler stayed

My sincere thanks are due to the Chief Sanitary Inspector
and the Staff of the Department for their loyal co-operation.
