The Committee are of opinion that the duties of the Surveyor of Sewers are such as require
the employment of a strong and active man, and having regard to the age of the present
Surveyor and to his long period of valuable service, and a previous Committee having conferred
with Mr. Legg upon the subject, and he having expressed his willingness to resign upon a
superannuation allowance;
Recommend—That arrangements be made with Mr. Legg for his resignation accordingly,
and that upon such resignation taking effect, he be allowed the full superannuation allowance as
provided by the Act, namely, £200 per annum, being 40/60ths of his present salary.
The Committee being also of opinion that it is desirable that the office and duties of the
Surveyor of Pavements should be revised, and a former Committee having conferred with
Mr. Thomas upon the subject, and he having expressed his willingness to fall in with the views
of the Vestry, provided he be granted a suitable superannuation allowance;
Recommend—That arrangements be made with Mr. Thomas for his resignation, and that
upon such resignation taking effect, he be allowed a superannuation allowance of £120 a year,
taking into consideration his long and valuable services during a period of 25 years, such duties
requiring peculiar qualifications for the due and efficient discharge thereof.
The Committee further Recommend—That one Surveyor be appointed in the place of
Mr. Legg and Mr. Thomas to carry out the whole of the duties hitherto carried out by them,
and any other duties that may be required of him according to a schedule of duties to be
prepared and approved of by the Vestry, at a salary commencing at £300 a year, and rising by
yearly sums after the first year of £20 to a maximum salary of £400 a year, he to have no
claim for compensation allowance; that he be not less than 30 nor more than 40 years of age
and that he be required to reside in the Parish, and devote his whole time to the duties of his
office; and that advertisements for his appointment be issued accordingly.
The Committee having considered the appointment and duties of the Sanitary Inspector,
and also a resolution passed by the Vestry on the 4th June, 1889, as follows:—
"Resolved—That the Medical Officer of Health have control over the Sanitary
"Inspector, and the man appointed to assist in the collection of the dust, and that
"Clause No. 2 of the list of duties of the Inspector be amended accordingly."
