I recommend the appointment of Senior Inspector Lamble to fill this office. He will reach his present maximum of £480 on the 1st January, 1923. To fill the vacancy thus onused, I recommend the appointment of Inspector McEwen, with the initial salary of the post, £400, on a year's probation, and on condition that he retires in 1924 at the age of 55.

(c) One First Clerk and Assistant Secretary of the

Sanitary Board, to supervise the clerical staff and records, with a salary corresponding to that of the Senior Clerk of the Audit Department (2350 to £450 by £10 annually).

I recommend the appointment of Inspector Davies to fill this office. His present salary is £340 per

anmum.

I should point out that the post of Assistant Secretery of the Board already exists in theory under the Public Health and Buildings Ordinance, 1903.

I recommend that Mr. Ligores, Overseer, should succeed Inspector Davies as Storekeeper, and since he is not domiciled in England, the appropriate salary for the post would be that of Class II in the Clerical Service, $2000 to $2900 by 100 annually. Mr. Ligores would commence at $2200, as he is at present drawing $1500 plus $600 personal allowance. The Head of Sanitary Department

has nothing but praise for this man's work at the Disinfect

-ing Station. He is well qualified to undertake the duties

of the post.
