It was also resolved at the same meeting that the salary of the new Sanitary
Inspector be £100 a year, hut this salary was subsequently reviewed and fixed at £110,
rising by annual increments of £5 to a maximum of £150 per annum.
The Committee inserted advertisements, and 38 applications for the office were
received. The Committee selected twelve candidates for interview, and of these the
four following applicants were presented to the Vestry on the 1st March, 1892, for the
Vestry to appoint from:—
Alfred Barb, Clerk in the Vestry's Sanitary Department.
Albert Bennett, Sanitary Inspector to the St. Pancras Vestry.
E. K. T. Martinson, Assistant Inspector of Nuisances, Walthamstow.
Chables H. Quelch, Manager, Sanitary Department, Co-operative
Builders, Brixton, S.W.
After two ballots, Mr. Quelch obtained the largest number of votes, whereupon he
was appointed a Sanitary Inspector of this Vestry, in accordance with the terms of the
advertisement, subject to the approval of the Local Government Board.
An alteration in the duties and salary of the Medical Officer of Health, and the
proper allocation of the duties of the sanitary officers under the Public Health (London)
Act, 1891, have not been brought to an issue within the period covered by this Report,
and a recapitulation of them is reserved for next year's Report.
