Staff.
Mr. R. Brown was promoted to be Senior Inspector and
Mr. A. W. E. Porter was appointed District Inspector to fill the
vacancy.
Mr. T. Newell, Chief Inspector of Food and Drugs, was superannuated
in July, owing to continued ill-health. He had been
in the severice of the Council for 31 years. The Council decided
to abolish the office of Chief Inspector of Food and Drugs and
Mr. W. H. Jones, one of the Food Inspectors, was appointed Food
and Drugs Inspector to carry out the duties under the Food and
Drugs Acts.
The vacancy for a Food Inspector was filled by the transfer
of Mr. W. T. Willimott, one of the District Inspectors. The
filling of the vacancy created by Mr. Willimott's transfer has
been postponed in accordance with the decision of the Council
not to fill vacancies which occur for the time being.
Earlier in the year the Council decided to appoint an additional
Health Visitor on account of the general increase in the
Maternity and Child Welfare work and Miss B. P. Manning was
appointed.
Miss D. E. Kilsby resigned her appointment as Third Class
Clerk and the vacancy has been filled by the appointment of Miss
F. M. Woodhall.
One of the members of the staff of the Disinfecting Station
was superannuated during the year and it is not proposed to fill
the vacancy.
Mr. F. L. Langford, Third Class Clerk, has qualified as a
Sanitary Inspector by obtaining the Certificate of the Royal
Sanitary Institute Examination Joint Board.
Mr. W. T. Willimott has obtained the Grade IV. Certificate
for Building Construction granted by the London County Council.
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.
