The delay in filling the vacancy has been primarily due to the local authority, who were asked to define the duties which it was intended should be discharged for the salary proposed by the council for the position. This information, which was asked for in 1940, was not supplied until May, 1943. The council did not apparently desire to proceed with the filling of the position pending the introduction of county management. The conditions of appointment have been settled and the statutory request was sent by the local authority to the Local Appointments Commission in December last. I understand the position will be advertised shortly.
