Staff.
Miss I. M. Pullar also resigned her appointment as Health
Visitor in order to take up hospital practice.
These two vacancies have been filled by the appointment
of Miss G. Smith and Miss J. Pottinger who have not yet commenced
duty. The work at the present time is being carried
out by temporary Health Visitors.
I much regret to have to report that Miss E. E. Merron died
suddenly on the 6th July, 1930, following an operation. Miss
Merron had been a Tuberculosis Visitor since September, 1918,
and her death is a great loss to the Department. The vacancy
has not yet been filled.
Three vacancies have occurred in the clerical staff. Mr.
F. A. Eustace, second class clerk has been appointed Sanitary
Inspector and Messrs. R. Chandler and P. O'Grady, third class
clerks, have resigned.
Mr. F. L. Langford, third class clerk in the Borough
Accountant's Department has been transferred to fill one of the
vacancies, and Mr. J. Marshall, office youth in the Town Clerk's
Department, has been appointed third class clerk. The other
appointment has been filled by the promotion of Mr. L. L.
Parrini from office youth to third class clerk, and Mr. A. E.
Hollis has been appointed fourth class clerk to fill the vacancy.
Messrs. E. V Roots and W. H. Jones obtained the certificate
for Advanced Building Construction awarded by the Brixton
School of Building, and Mr. H. T. Lambert has obtained the
Building and Sanitation Certificate granted by the Royal
Sanitary Institute.
Miss J. E. D. Elder has passed the Sanitary Institute Examination
for Health Visitors as approved by the Ministry of Health.
In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation of the
excellent manner in which the staff have carried out their duties
throughout the year.
I am,
Your obedient Servant,
F. G. CALEY.
