SCHOOL BOARD PRECEPT.
The precept for the current year is £5,427 3s. 5d., being an increase
on the amount required last year, of £1,853 18s. 10d.
MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH.
Dr. Sarvis, the late Medical Officer of Health, having died suddenly
on the 4th of November, it was referred to a Committee of the whole
Vestry to consider and report as to the duties and emoluments of the
Medical Officer of Health. The Committee recommended that the
salary in future should be £200 per annum, and that any fees received
by the Medical Officer for attending the Police Court on proceedings
by or on behalf of the Vestry be paid by him to the Vestry. Also that
the Medical Officer be required to reside in the Parish, and that it be a
condition of the appointment that the Medical Officer shall not hold at
any time any appointment under the Board of Guardians for the
Parish. The recommendations of the Committee were, after a long
discussion, adopted. Advertisements inviting candidates were inserted
in the Medical Times and four local papers. There were ten candidates
for the office. Their testimonials were considered, and each candidate
was seen by a Committee of the whole Vestry. The election took
place at a meeting held on the 13th January, when George Paddock
Bate, Esq., M.D., of 412, Bethmal Green Road, was elected.
