The report and estimates were seconded by Mr. Wong Kwang-tin, 18 дм and passed. The roport follows:

In accordance with the Board's resolution of 2nd April, 1929, we have considered the Estimates for 1930 and now submit the following recommendations:

Personal Emoltiments, We recommend that two addi tional Inspectors be approved, ons for the Peak District (which has not now an Inspector to itself) and the second for a new health

district in Victoria which is necessitated by a redistribution of cerlain areas. We suggest that one of the new poats should be First Class and the other Second Class.

Two new Interpreters (Class VI of the Junior Olerical Service)

will lie required for these Inspec- lors. One more Class VI Clerk Is also required for the Central District Ofice.

We recommend that the post of one Grade 1 Foreman should be converted to the post of Overseer in order to afford promotion to a denerving officer.

We recommend that the number of sextons may be safely reduced from 45 to 30.

It may also be necessary to ask fur a considerable number of latrine attendunts in 1930, but this question is not yel ripe for definite recommendations.

Other Charges,
