III. The Vestry proceeded to consider the communications of the
26th May, and 7th June, 1892, from the Local Government
Board on the subject of the new Sanitary Inspectors
(Mr. J. Twaits and Mr. F. H. Lyon).
Moved by Mr. T. J. Smith seconded by Mr. Richardson—
That the matter be referred to a Committee of the Whole
Board for consideration and report.
Moved by Mr. Coker seconded by Mr. Burge as an amendment—That
a reply be sent to the Local Government Board
in the following terms:
The Vestry of Mile End Old Town very much regret
that one of its members should have taken such an unusual
course, and have been so inexact and misleading in
the statements contained in his letter.
Of the eight selected candidates presented to the Board
from which to elect two officers, not one possessed "First
Class Honors Certificates for Building Construction," nor
yet "First Class Honors Certificates for Hygiene;" one
of them, Mr. Twaits, holds a Second Class Honors for
both these subjects, and he is the one chosen in addition
to Mr. Lyon.
Mr. Lyon also holds a Second Class advanced Certificate
for Building Construction, and is quite prepared to sit for
the Sanitary Science Examination, when it is next holden.
He is a man of good education, and possesses exactly the
experience to fit him for his office, and is now performing
his duties to the entire satisfaction of our very active
Medical Officer of Health.
