Disinfecting Station.
* J. Bond, Engineer.
Nine Disinfecting Attendants.
Mortuaries.
One whole-time and two part-time mortuary keepers.
I regret to have to report that Mr. H. E. Brown and Mr.
A. W. Browne, who have been Sanitary Inspectors under the
Council since 1902 and 1898 respectively, have been superannuated
owing to continued ill-health.
During the year the Council decided to appoint two
additional Sanitary Inspectors to carry out housing duties and
Messrs. Lambert and Willimott were transferred from their
districts for these duties.
Mr. Standish was transferred to a district from his previous
appointment as Food and Drugs Inspector.
The four vacancies caused by these retirements and new
appointments were filled by the engagement of Messrs. F. A.
Eustace, W. G. Pearce and A. W. Fisher, as district inspectors,
and Mr. A. E. Handley as Food and Drugs Inspector.
Miss P. L. Luff resigned her appointment as Health Visitor
on being appointed to a similar post in the City of Westminster.
