but I am not convinced
that it is desirable to appoint the Medical Officer
of the Sanitary Dept. If Dr. Atkinson can
properly attend to the Sanitary duty I say
he might
be reliant on his duties as
Supt of the
Gov't Civil Hospital, two clerks to assist him

Profine Simpson
called and
supports his
very strong
opinion that a Sanitary Commission
is necessary and that the Dept should be re-organised.
After writing for
I have the honour to transmit the enclosed
statement of appointments on the temporary Staff of the Sanitary Board for which I propose to make provision in the Estimates for next year. With the exception of the Fireman and Coolie for the Cattle Crematorium and Refuse Destructor, and Assistant Sexton (gravedigger) at Chaiwan Cemetery, this Staff has been
employed during the current year.

The Chief Clerk to the Medical Officer of
Health was appointed in May last on the advice of Professor Simpson and the Treasurer to enable the Medical Officer of Health to spend more of his time on out-door duties. If a Sanitary Commissioner is appointed under the new Bill relating to Buildings and Public Health, which was read a first time on 7th instant, I am of opinion that this clerk will not be required. The additional Clerk and Interpreter is required for the Assistant Medical Officer of Health, who must have an Interpreter to accompany him in his out of door work. The three clerks (one at $480 and two at $360 a year) are required in order to enable the Department to cope with the large increase in clerical work in making out notices to abate nuisances
and to comply with the Sanitary Laws in other directions.
