Sanitary Department.
In consequence of the growth of the District and
the increased clerical work it was considered advisable to
appoint an additional Sanitary Inspector. A selection was
made from a large number of candidates. The appointment,
followed by a re-adjustment of the duties of the
Saintary Department has, I feel confident given satisfaction
to the Council as also to myself.
