sir,
I have the honour to inform you that
Doctor Francis William Clark, Medical officer of
Health in this Colony, as anxious to be considered
a candidate for the head of the proposed re-organised
Sanitary Department of Ceylon.
Dr. Clark'a record of service is to be
found on page 154 of the Civil Service List of 1913.
He has rendered invaluable service to this Colony
in improving sanitation, in assisting in the organisation
of the Sanitary Department, and in the drafting of
the extensive sanitary legislation which has been
passed in this Colong of recent years. He has also
given much of his time to lecturing in the Hongkong
College of Medicine, and is at present a lecturer in,
and Dean of, the Medical Faculty in the Hongkong
University. He is a very clever man who takes a
keen interest in his work. He is in addition &
very good organiser and active in his habits.
I can confidently recommend him for
the appointment, for which, I venture to think, it
would be difficult to find a better candidate.
Dr.Clark's salary is the equivalent of
£750 per annum, which for pension purposes is assessed
at £900 per annum. He would be willing to accept Right Honourable
Lewis Vernon Harcourt.M.P.
