![14 2nd.—A new officer should be appointed for the district thus vacated. 3rd.—The Inspectors of the other districts should confine themselves to sanitary work and perform no duties under the Food and Drugs' Acts, and do no disinfections. 4th.—A Clerk should be appointed to attend at the office all day, who should keep the books, make out notices, receive complaints, and per form such other duties as may be required. 5th.—The three District Inspectors and the Clerk should be placed under the orders of your Medical Officer of Health; to perform such duties as he may direct, and report to him daily. Your Medical Officer would thus be head of his department and solely responsible to the Sanitary Committee for the condition of the parish, and for the manner in which the Inspectors perform their duties. If some such system as this were adopted, an enormous amount of work could be got through. Each Inspector would have his day's duty laid down for him, and would not beliable to be called away, and would not be required, as now, to spend half his time in making out and copying notices. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient Servant, GEORGE PADDOCK BATE, Medical Officer of Health for St. Matthew, Bethnal Green. November, 1883. [Ordered to be Printed December 16th, 1883].](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b19952764_0108.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
