I can tell you the reason given by Dr Clark was that if
the date was put in, news might get abroad that a
certain house would be visited on a certain date, and
it would consequently not be overcrowded on that date,
and the only thing to keep it quiet was not to date
these notices. But it appeared from evidence given to
us that when an Inspector had an idea that a house was
habitually overcrowded, he had sent a requisition up to
the office by a locked box, which was opened by a clerk.
The papers were taken out by that olerk, and if he
liked to sell the information, he could. We suggested
to Dr Clark to get over that difficulty, it might be
better that the Inspector should merely fill in his own
book and send it in under sealed cover to the I. 0. M.
and there would be no chance of the clark or anyone
else seeing it, or knowing anything shout it, besides
the Inspector himself and the M. 0. H. Dont you think
that would be more feasable ?
Yes. I always date the noties, but not the hour.
Dont you think it me very inadvisable that a notice /67257)
should be signed by a responsible officer without being
dated ?
It ought to be dated,
Should you be surprised to hear that at a Heating of 16726
Sanitary Inspectors, they were told not to fill in dates
until after they had made the inspection. Would you
