Sanitary Department.

(Report, para.217. Evidence p.147. Letter from Acting Secretary of the Sanitary Board No.116 of 4th April, 1894.)

48. The Committee is unable to suggest any decrease in the cost of the Sanitary Department as at present constituted, but it urges consideration of the question whether that department should not be placed on a different basis and all the sanitary arrangements and powers placed in the hands of one thoroughly competent officer who should be personally responsible to Government for all matters connected with the health of the Colony and for the carrying out of all sanitary laws and regulations.

49. This important question will receive my early attention. At present I will only say that I concur generally in the views of the Committee and am in favour of a fixed personal responsibility.

50. With regard to the salary of the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon, which the Committee seems to consider inadequate, I propose, with Your Lordship's approval, to grant Mr Ladds an increase of $600 a year, which should be regarded as including remuneration for his work in connection with the Vaccine Institute.
