Inspector, at a salary of £120 per annum, to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of the late Assistant Inspector.

ALTERATION OF BYE-LAW.
Bye-law No. 17 was altered by the Vestry on the l6th
April, and the alteration duly confirmed at a subsequent
meeting to provide for the appointment of the Valuation
Committee by the Vestry. The former practice was for the
Works Committee to appoint a Sub-Committee as occasion
required, to assess new properties and consider applications
for the revision of assessments.
