HEALTH INSPECTOR
HIGHER COST OF SERVICE FRANKLIN COUNTY PROTEST [feom otjr own correspondent] PTTKEKOHE, Tuesday Advice that' the Franklin County Council's contribution toward the cost of the district health inspector would be increased from £ll2 10s to £2OO 5s 2d per annum was received from the Director-General of Health, Dr. M. H. Watt, at the council meeting. Several members commented on the increase and the chairman, Mr. J. N. Massey. said the council had no quarrel with the inspector, but its duty was to try to find some other channel rather than pay the increase, which amounted practically to -an 80 per cent rise in one year. On the chairman's suggestion the council decided to inform the Health Department that it was alarmed at the increase and proposed to inquire into the conditions under which inspectors were appointed by other local authorities, as it might be nwre economical for the council to appoint its own officer and have his full-time services as heaJth inspector, building inspector and part-time noxious weeds inspector.
