Mr. McCURDY

Mr. James Corbett was appointed as an Enforcement Officer in the South Western Division on 6th January last at a salary of £250 per annum. His appointment has not been terminated, but in view of the reduction of local organisation which is being effected, he has been informed that his services may shortly be terminated. Mr. Corbett has recently been engaged in inspection work at Bristol, where Mr. Upton is District Food Officer.
