![STAFF. As stated in my introduction, the Department was without an Additional IlSanitary Inspector for 4 months, following the resignation of Mr. H.R.D. Scott, llafter a long period of service and good work in the district. His successor, jlMr. H. Batteson, was appointed in July, 1955. Following a review of the Department’s staff, the Council approved lithe appointment of an additional clerical assistant (junior) and Mr. M.G. Blizzard ILras engaged in this capacity in August, 1955. His appointment will ease pressure jlof routine work in the Department and enable the Senior Assistant, Mr. R.G. Ifchapman, to devote more of his time to responsible duties, for which he is needed. Once again the year was marked by difficulty in obtaining and retaining ]adequate manual staff and the work was further complicated by absence due to sickness. Increases in negotiated rates of pay during the year have not Inaterially affected this position. The efficient administration of the public Services involves arduous and sometimes unpleasant work and it is to the great |credit of the staff employed that all shortages and difficulties have been Tovercome without major interruption of any part of the service. Details of the Department’s staff at 31st. December, 1955, were:- IOffice: Chief Sanitary Inspector, Meat and Foods Inspector. Additional Sanitary Inspector. Senior Clerical Assistant.
