Staff-The arduous duties connected with the disinfection of all infected premises, and the control of the Disinfecting Station, were carried out by Inspector REIDIE in the most efficient manner, and I have very good reason to know that he worked from early morning till late at night during the height of the epidemic to secure the efficiency of this service. It will be remembered that Inspector REIDIE Contracted Bubonic Fever in 1899 while in the execution of similar duties and he has there- fore good reason to claim a special knowledge of the disease. I consider that this officer deserves the special thanks of the Board for the manner in which he has performed these duties. The other officers who deserve special mention in connection with this year's outbreak are Inspectors ROGERS and C. W. BRETT who are employed in Kowloon; Inspectors HOGGARTH and FINCHER in Wanchai; Inspector KNIGHT who superintended the removal of all infected corpses from the Government Mor- tuary and their interment at the Kennedy Town Cemetery; and Police Inspector ROBERTSON who had considerable experience of the disease at Shaukiwau and Quarry Bay.
