of the Chairman.

He proposes to leave her question for Sir G. Bowen's decision, but the latter will hardly be able to judge after so short a time in the Colony.

I do not see that it matters much how the matter is settled provided that he has to report and be in every way subject to the Board. By all means have the one man and one Board, but do let the Sanitary Inspectors be subject to a distinctly subordinate department. Then let the

MINUTE PAPER.

307

As I understand, the Surveyor General is thought the fittest of the three officers to be in charge of the Sanitary Department, and the Sanitary Department will be part of and subordinate to the Surveyor General's department, and the Surveyor General will be chairman ex officio of the Board.

The district watchmen and market inspectors are now under the Registrar General; their duties are mainly sanitary; they had better be transferred to the Surveyor General, who already controls the Inspectors of Nuisances, so as to get all under the same department with one head. That department's head to be ex officio chairman of the Board.

I imagine this transfer would still leave the Registrar General plenty to do on his staff.
