OFFICERS OF THE VESTRY.
The only change that has occurred among the Vestry's
Officers during the year arose from Mr. Brooker, First Assistant
in the Vestry Clerks Office, having obtained a more
lucrative appointment elsewhere. The vacancy occasioned by
the resignation of Mr. Brooker was filled by the appointment
of Mr. T. H. Munsey, at a salary of £120 per annum. The
salary of Mr. Crow, Assistant Clerk, was increased from £75
to £100 per annum, and the salary of Mr. Lund, Stoneyard
Clerk, has been increased from £80 to £100.
The Vestry have decided to transfer one of the Inspectors of
Nuisances from the Sanitary Staff, and assign to him the
oversight (under the direction of the Surveyor) of the work of
Street Scavenging, the prevention and removal of obstructions,
&c.
A list of the officers of the Vestry and their respective
salaries is given on pages 111 and 112.
