In our Report presented on the 26th September last, we stated that in
accordance with the authority given to us by your Honourable Court we had
appointed John Henry Rolfe a Sanitary Inspector on probation, in the place
of Thomas Wm. Bailey, who had been promoted to the position of a Food
Inspector.
Having obtained the Certificate of the Sanitary Institute, Inspector Rolfe
has been placed by us on the Staff at the usual salary of 40s. per week, and
we now beg to recommend that his appointment be confirmed by your
Honourable Court, such appointment, as in the case of the other Inspectors, to
be subject to one month's notice on either side, your Committee being
empowered to give such notice on behalf of your Honourable Court, and that
he be also appointed an Inspector of Canal Boats under the Canal Boats Acts
on the same conditions.
We have to report that Mr. W. Monds Fox, who, since March, 1898, has
held the position of Boarding Medical Officer at Sheerness, has recently
resigned. Temporary arrangements for the performance of the duties have
been made by your Committee pending the appointment of a successor to
Mr. Fox.
In accordance with the Order of your Honourable Court, an Account of
Receipts and Expenditure in connection with the Port of London Sanitary
work for the year ended the 31st December last is appended (see Appendix N).
In submitting the same we may mention that the Receipts show an increase
of 447l. 17s. 6d. as compared with the previous year, whilst the Expenditure
is 791l. 9s. less.
All which we submit to the judgment of your Honourable Court. Dated
this fourth day of March, 1902.
