STAFF AND EQUIPMENT.
Mr. A. Kurrik joined the staff as a temporary assistant in November to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. E. R. Dovey, and the consequent temporary rearrangement of duties pending the appointment of a new Government Analyst.
The apparatus and fittings of the main laboratory have become very badly corroded and it has been found necessary to transfer the balances to the adjoining laboratory. To ensure easy communication a doorway between the two rooms is being cut. This question of corrosion is becoming important lack of draught in the fume cupboards and hooded benches is causing considerable damage and it will be necessary to go into the matter of the provision of forced draught not only to prevent corrosion but to safeguard the health of the staff. It is impossible to carry out work of the nature done here without considerable emission of acid and other fures but the provision of adequate draught will ensure that the fumes are taken away and do not contaminate the atmosphere in the laboratories.
