Health, under the provisions of the Housing of the
Working Classes Act, 1890, the Infectious Disease
(Notification) Act, 1889, and the Infectious Disease
(Prevention) Act, 1890, without detriment to the
ordinary sanitary work of the Vestry.
"2. That it be referred to the Works and Sanitary Committee
to consider and report to the Vestry whether any,
and if so what, arrangements are necessary to give full
effect to the preceding resolution.
"Your Committee, having carefully considered the reference,
beg to report that they are of opinion that the staff of Inspectors
would be adequate, for carrying out the duties imposed on the
Vestry and on the Medical Officer of Health, under the provisions
of the Acts above named, and without detriment to the ordinary
sanitary work of the Vestry, provided that the services of the two
Street Inspectors, recently appointed, are utilized in rendering
assistance to the Sanitary Inspectors in the performance of their
ordinary duties; and, to give effect to this suggestion, they submit
the following recommendations for adoption by the Vestry:—
"(a) That the two Street Inspectors also act as Assistant Inspectors of
Nuisances, and be responsible to, and take their instructions from,
the Medical Officer of Health, in regard to the duties of a sanitary
character devolving upon them.
