§ Sir FORTESCUE FLANNERYasked the President of the Local Government Board what is the area and population of the rural district council of Tregaron, Cardiganshire; what salary is paid to the inspector of nuisances; whether he devotes the whole of his time to the office; and have the Local Government Board sanctioned the salary as an adequate one?
§ Mr. BURNSThe area of the Tregaron Rural District is 121,545 acres, and the population, according to the last Census, was 7,947. The inspector of nuisances, who is required to devote the whole of his time to his duties, is paid a salary of £50 a year. The appointment has been sanctioned by the Local Government Board. The salary is more than was previously paid to the officer, but I cannot say that I regard it as adequate remuneration for an inspector of nuisances devoting his whole time to his duties.
