to the Sanitary Department, and is now discharged by Sanitary
Inspectors Bond and Robinson.
The Board's Staff.
During the year certain alterations have taken place in
the Board's staff. As has been already stated, Mr. John
Hoyle, who had been for many years one of the Board's
Street Inspectors, resigned, and in consideration of his
services the Board granted him a superannuation allowance
amounting to the sum of £73 6s. 8d. per annum. Inspector
Joseph Smith, who had for some years been Assistant Street
Inspector, was promoted to the post formerly held by Mr.
Hoyle ; some re-arrangement of the duties took place and Mr.
H. M. Cockburn, who had been Inspector to the Willesden
Local Board, was appointed as additional Street Inspector.
Certain duties, which had hitherto been discharged in the
Surveyor's Department in connection with the disinfecting
of infected clothing, were transferred to the Sanitary Department,
and, in like manner, the necessary duties in connection
with the removal of dust were transferred from the
Sanitary Department to the Surveyor's Department. The
work in the Surveyor's Department having increased to a
very considerable extent, an additional assistant was appointed,
and a modification of the duties of the staff was
approved by the Board.
The present office accommodation is extremely inefficient,
and it has been resolved that it is necessary to provide
additional accommodation, but no actual decision upon the
accommodation to be provided has yet been arrived at.
HENRY C. JONES,
Clerk to the Board.
