Who is the man in charge of the Disinfecting Station at

Taiping than ?

Lamble is in charge, because there is trouble with Gidley. Withhell was the man Dr Pearse had in charge of

the Disinfecting Station, as far as I remember. He went on leave, and now Witchell and Gidley being both away, the work has fallen on Lamble, who is doing really three mens work. There is a man allotted to that, but with three or four men on leave and two men suspended,

we are rather shorthanded. A first class Inspector is

allotted to that work.

They have quarters, but as a matter of fact the present

Perhaps I may explain more fully. When a man she has not

had much mechanical experience is put in charge of the

Disinfecting Station, being the best mai to select for

the moment, on two occasions it has been arranged

that a more senior Inspector still should reside at the Disinfecting Station and exercise general supervision. over the Station while doing outside work as well.

Some yoɛrs ago Inspector H. J. W. Gidley was put in charge of the Disinfecting station and succesɗed Reidio who was made a Senior Inspector, Reidis by permissten
