Inspector GRIMBLE, of No. 3 Health District, who has been in charge of the machinery and has per- formed these duties in a satisfactory manner, reports that the boiler and jacket are in good working order but that the building a wooden one-is in a very dilapidated condition. It is proposed, however, to erect a new brick building on another site during the forthcoming year and remove the apparatus thereto.
The apparatus was in use on 249 days of the past year.
STAFF.
The only changes in the staff during the year were those occasioned by the death of Inspector RENNIE while on leave in England and the resignation of Inspector MCALLISTER. Inspector COTTON was lent to the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon, during the absence on leave of the Inspector of Markets, and will be transferred to that Department on the retirement of the latter. The vacancies were filled by the appointment of Inspectors FINCHER, MCKENZIE and 'Acting Inspector MOVICAR. The health of the staff during the year has been good and the work of the Department has been carried out, I venture to think, in an efficient and at the same time a judicious manner by the various Inspectors and those working under them.
The following is a list of the Inspectors of Nuisances employed by the Board during the year:
Senior Inspector.
Mr. J. R. GERMAIN (on leave).
No. 1 Health District,.
...Mr. L. BRETT.
No. 9 Health District,......Mr. F. FISHER.
