dfc6555b-8e82-41a5-a31f-47032719cddc | It appears that, provided members of the public can see what is happening and can assess for themselves the likely short duration of the nuisance, they are prepared to tolerate such an interference with their normal comfort especially when it is realised that improved technique for quietening the operation are likely to increase the cost of the operation to public funds, without materially affecting the efficiency or speed of completion of the job. Another large scale reconditioning scheme involving sewage brought forth many complaints. This was the reconstruction of the sludge digestion tanks at the Richmond Main Sewerage Works, made necessary as a result of the structural failure of the tanks. The proper funtioning of the plant was seriously interfered with and emergency measures were taken to deal with the problem of drying the sludge in open lagoons. |
27f04db0-5cd8-4f11-b9af-dc55dcdb59ea | All possible practical steps were taken to minimise the nuisance, but these failed to prevent objectionable smells, causing acute distress to residents, particularly those living in the Hartington Road area of Chiswick, due to the fact that they were in the path of the prevailing wind. Constructional work has proceeded as rapidly as possible and the new tanks are now well established, although at the close of the year there was still some nuisance from effluvia. Experience in other areas shows that, however well designed and conducted, a sewage disposal plant should be in as isolated a position as possible. It is regrettable that new occupiers of property in the vicinity cannot be warned in advance that they are moving to an area where a certain amount of nuisance is almost inevitable. VERMINOUS PREMISES ETC. Rodent Control. Complaints of rats and mice continued at a satisfactory low level and no major infestations were met with. |
0b800c1f-2e87-4016-bd52-9d9a6136ab18 | Infestation in the sewers is now confined to one small area where the sewer system connects with Richmond. This is a small pocket of residual infestation, on a minor scale, and no undue difficulty is expected in dealing with it by means of routine treatments. Other Pests. The destruction of wasps nests again predominated in the treatment of pests other than rodents. There was a slight increase in the 11 number of infestations by bugs dealt with but these were of no particular significance and eradication was effective and final. ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION. The Clean Air Programme passed the halfway mark with the coming into operation of the No. 4 Smoke Control Area on 1st September, 1964 and the No. 5 Area on 1st December, 1964. |
adea43e0-4b00-46b9-834d-1d9588a24199 | Bearing in mind the rather drastic change in policy which occurred just as the last area was confirmed, in connection with the type of smokeless appliances being advocated for smoke control areas, the conversions were carried out with relatively little trouble. Fortunately nothing succeeds like success and the performance of the new types of room heater is such that they are usually well recommended by their users. There is now a comprehensive range of appliances burning all types of fuel, which should suit all tastes and conditions. At the close of the year the Ministry announced that, in future, grants will not be payable on direct acting electric heating appliances because the use of such appliances could create an undue strain of power resources during peak periods. Fortunately this announcement came at a time when the majority of approvals had already been issued for the No. 5 Smoke Control Area and householders in the new areas can be warned in good time of this change in policy. The Council made the No. |

It is worthy of note that relatively few people are now desirous of retaining an open fire, given freedom of choice, and this should lead to a better position as far as the availability of fuel supplies is concerned. Considerable difficulty was again experienced in agreeing the estimates of local builders for conversion works, and the Department was sometimes placed in the regrettable position of having to refer applicants to building firms outside the district for more reasonable estimates. The results of observations carried out by the apparatus for measuring atmospheric pollution in East Sheen indicate that no further improvement in the cleanliness of the atmosphere of this part of the Borough can be expected until the adjacent residential areas are brought under smoke control orders. Even so the weight of smoke has been halved since the passing of the Clean Air Act, 1956. The weight of sulphur dioxide has been reduced by almost one-third in the same period. |
5070d45f-2340-4069-9e61-8b105bcda9d8 | SECTION 'D' β HOUSING. The most notable trend in housing conditions in the area was the accelerated modernisation of obsolescent properties. As each house becomes vacant, by the death of the statutory tenant or other circumstances, the property is promptly sold and reconditioned. The 12 standard of reconditioning depends on whether it is being carried out by the new owner/occupier, or whether it is to be resold by developers . Certainly the number of houses available for ordinary letting is becoming smaller and smaller each year. With impending amalgamation it was not considered desirable to embark on any redevelopment area schemes, although there are certain areas where the results would probably justify the enormous amount of work which would need to be put into the schemes. It seems clear that owners themselves cannot be relied on to take the initiative in these matters and it will be for the local authority to make detailed surveys and prepare outline schemes with a view to compulsory improvement powers being invoked in the event of non-cooperation by owners. |
c07c248a-0e53-406e-8a22-5749e1989e86 | The new Housing Act powers provide for ample time and opportunity being given to owners to think things over before the local authority can actually step in to commence works and provision is made for improvement works to be delayed for a few years if the occupying tenant objects to the proposed works. SECTION 'E'β INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD. The standard of food premises generally was maintained at a reasonably satisfactory level and there were only a few cases where conditions were bad enough to require warning of possible proceedings. The cost and difficulty of arranging for the removal of trade refuse from food premises, especially grocery and greengrocery businesses, is a factor which mitigates against the maintenance of high standards of cleanliness, and unfortunately the local authority is itself well aware of the difficulty of engaging labour for this type of work. One of the defects of the 'self-service' trend in the sale of foodstuffs is the failure by retailers to keep an adequate check on the soundness and freshness of perishable goods. |
a155f0d0-a60c-4291-94ee-804321b49ad8 | It is not sufficient for the shop assistant to stack the oldest packs at the front because housewives are expert at picking out the best. Unless stocks are completely cleared daily there is always a danger of the odd pack being passed over day after day. In spite of frequent requests to maintain an adequate "coding" system complaints are received of unfit food being sold through lack of care in this respect. The only effective deterrent appears to be to publicise these complaints by means of Court proceedings where the result may be out of all proportion to the actual damage sustained by the purchaser. A comprehensive range of foodstuffs was sampled for adulteration or incorrect labelling, but little of any importance was noted, the infringements being minor omissions in the statements as to contents, which is required by the Labelling of Food Regulations, due rather to misinterpretation of the requirements than to any attempt to mislead the customer. |

MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT. HEALTH DEPARTMENT, 40, High Street, Barnet. January, 1912. To the Chairman and Members of the Barnet Urban District Council. Gentlemen, I beg to present my second Annual Report on the Health of the District for the year 1911. |
18eddd57-4564-4b00-ba9f-1b8b7cb77100 | The District is in the Barnet Union, and includes the parishes of Chipping Barnet, Hadley, South Mimms, and Arkley, and has an area of 1,509 acres. The Town, locally known as High Barnet, stands upon a hill at an altitude of 430 feet above sea level. The geological formation consists of gravel overlying beds of London clay upon the hill, while in the valleys the clay comes to the surface. The Town is situated about 10 miles from Charing Cross on what may be termed the crowning summit of the Northern Heights. The District is bracing and healthy, and is becoming an increasingly popular residential area. POPULATION. The census taken during the year gives the population as 10,440. This is lower than was estimated owing to the fact that the increase in the decennial period 1901 to 1911 has been at a lower rate than during the period 1891 to 1901, due to a decrease in the Birth Rate. |
6c7c9403-58d4-45ec-a151-467bf0774594 | The average number of persons per house in 1911 was 4'7, as compared with 5'2 in 1901. 6 The following table shows the number of inhabited houses, together with the population for each parish at the census. Parish No. of Occupied Houses. Population. Arkley 137 494 Chipping Barnet 800 3,954 Hadley 93 439 South Mimms 1172 5,553 DENSITY OF POPULATION. The District has an area of 1,509 acres. The census of 1911 showed the average number of persons to the acre to be 6'9, as compared with 5'5 in 1901. The following is the density of population of each parish in the District:β Parish.

The nett number of births registered in the District during the year was 224, as compared with 217 in 1910, and 214 in 1909. Of these births, 120 were male and 104 female. The Birth Rate, calculated as the rate per 1,000 of the population, is 21 "3, as compared with 19'4 in the previous year. The nett illegitimate births registered give a proportion of 31 per 1,000 of the total births. The following table shows the number of births recorded and the Birth Rate for each parish in the District:β Parish. No. of Births. Birth Rate. |

Two deaths of residents belonging to the District occurred in Public Institutions outside the District, while 71 deaths not belonging to the District occurred in Public Institutions within the District. After making allowance for these deaths a nett Death Rate of 10.6 per 1,000 is obtained.

Arkley 80 8.0 Chipping Barnet 35.5* 12.7 Hadley 11.3 11.3 South Mimms 8.7 10.1 *Union Workhouse in this parish. INFANTILE MORTALITY. The rate of Infantile Mortality for the past year was 98 per 1,000, as compared with 60 during 1910, and 140 during 1909. The average for the past 10 years has been 101 per 1,000. It is calculated upon the ratio of infant deaths to births per 1,000. |
6730c6b0-da16-407b-aa8c-1ab9badd48c8 | 8 The notification of Births Act, 1907, has not been adopted in this District, Infantile Mortality is due to a number of causes, the chief of which are:β Alcoholism; impure food supplies and contamination of infants' food by dust, flies, &c.; improper feeding; impure milk; insanitary environment and overcrowding ; and ante-natal causes. The housing of the working classes is intimately associated with the question of Infantile Mortality, owing to the fact that young infants are peculiarly susceptible to overcrowded and insanitary conditions. The hot dry summer of the past year has been associated with an unusual prevalence of infantile diarrhoea throughout the whole country. This District was not excepted, and a large number of young children were affected. There were only 3 deaths directly due to this cause. The improvement in the housing conditions is no doubt partly responsible for this, and the further provision of suitable cottages will tend to reduce still more the number of deaths. |

Appended is given in tabulated form the lates for births, deaths, etc., in Barnet for the past year as compared with the mean average for Barnet for the 10 years 1901-11, and also the mean average for Urban districts in the County during the same period.

ZYMOTIC DISEASES. The number of deaths from diseases of this class was 6, as compared with 3 in the previous year. 9 Of this number two deaths (Diphtheria) do not belong to the district. The number of cases of Infectious Diseases notified during 1911 was 54, being an increase of 23 over 1910. After an exceptional freedom from Zymotic Disease during the spring and summer, Scarlet Fever was prevalent in the early autumn. This appears to have been the experience of surrounding districts. |
6da5a363-73bf-479f-8806-89f9baa8ab94 | The following table shows the number of notifications to the Sanitary Authority during the year of each disease specified in the Infectious Diseases (Notification) Act, and the number removed to Hospital:β Nature of Infectious Disease. Notified. Removed to Hospital. Small-pox .. .. Diphtheria and Membranous Croup 12 10 Erysipelas 5 1* Scarlet Fever 37 32 Typhoid or Enteric Fever .. .. Typhus Fever .. .. Relapsing Fever .. .. Continued Fever .. .. Puerperal Fever .. .. Total 51 43 *Removed to London Hospital. WATER SUPPLY. The District is supplied with water from the mains of the Barnet Water Company. The water is derived from deep wells sunk into the chalk, situateβ1 at East Barnet, 3 at New Barnet, 1 at Potters Bar, and 1 at Tyttenhanger, Colney Heath. |
5b8e169d-76f6-48d7-95fe-1fff210bafd0 | The buildings and machinery in connection with the latter well were completed during the year, and the well has been in use since the summer. The water supply of Barnet is improving, and it may now be said to be practically constant. Cisterns supplying houses still continue to receive attention, in order to secure their protection from contamination. 10 DISPOSAL OF HOUSE REFUSE. The House Refuse is collected weekly by the Council's own staff. There being no refuse destructor in the District the refuse is conveyed to the Farm. SEWERAGE AND DRAINAGE. The town is sewered and drained on the separate system. The sewage is conveyed to an Irrigation Farm of 56 acres. The scheme of sewage disposal adopted by the Council for the better treatment of the sewage is not yet begun, but the contract is let, and the work will shortly be in hand. |
e0753afd-b1a0-4a64-b680-f391e86379c9 | The method of treatment adopted arranges for the use of mechanical sprinklers; the effluent to be turned on to the land before being discharged into the brook. Mr. Fairley, Victoria Street, Westminster, is the engineer for the scheme. SLAUGHTER HOUSES. The Slaughter Houses continue to receive attention by the Sanitary Inspector, who possesses the special qualification as Inspector of Meat and Other Foods, issued by the Royal Sanitary Institute. This qualification is now urged by the Local Government Board in their memorandum as to Annual Reports, who require information upon the subject. JOINT ISOLATION HOSPITAL. This Hospital is controlled by a Joint Committee of the Barnet, East Barnet Valley Urban, and Barnet Rural District Councils. The accommodation is for 8 cases of Scarlet Fever, 4 of Diphtheria, and 4 of Enteric Fever. The percentage of cases notified which have been removed to Hospital is 79 per cent., as compared with 80 per cent. |
d53861d5-6274-4987-8c37-84e1248e55b2 | last year. Owing to the prevalence of Scarlet Fever in the Hospital area, there has been in some cases delay in obtaining admission to the Hospital. The Hospital still urgently needs discharge, observation, and convalescent wards. The provision of these wards, together with the advisability of making all new additions of a permanent character, is receiving the earnest consideration of the Hospital Committee. 11 Antitoxin is provided free to all practitioners in the District. The Council have also made arrangements to examine and report, through the Clinical Research Association, on all suspected cases of Diphtheria and Typhoid Fever. The Equifex Steam Disinfector is available for all hospital and private patients' bedding. PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. There are six schools in the district, viz.:βArkley C.E. Infants' School; Barnet C.E., with Boys', Girls' and Infants' Departments; Barnet C.C. |
3bebc740-f0fa-4e2a-8af4-89f3460d1311 | School, with Boys' and Girls' Departments; Christ Church School, with Boys', Girls' and Infants' Departments ; Hadley Infants' School; Moxon St. Infants' School. The following schools have been closed on account of outbreaks of Infectious Disease:β School. Period of Closure. Nature of Disease. Byng Road C.C. Schools 2 weeks Scarlet Fever Christ Church Boys', Girls' and Infants' 2 weeks Scarlet Fever Arkley Infants' 3 weeks Measles Christ Church Infants' 2 weeks Measles PUBLIC HEALTH (TUBERCULOSIS) REGULATIONS. The extension of compulsory notification to all cases of Pulmonary Tuberculosis should prove a very valuable means of controlling the spread of the disease, and of obtaining reliable data as to its prevalence, duration and course. Appliances are provided for the use of any poor person affected, and leaflets of instruction and advice given. |
979fe833-5df0-4b29-bf46-0a32ec1ebd3d | Twenty-nine notifications have been received under the provisions of the Public Health (Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1908, of which number 22 were from the Medical Officer of the Poor Law Infirmary and 7 from the Poor Law District Officer. In 5 instances the same patient was notified twice. It is difficult to see how this repeated notification can be avoided, as a patient may be discharged from an Institution one week and return the next. Therefore instead of 29 cases, as at first appears, the true number of cases is 24. The following gives particulars with regard to the cases. 12 13 PUBLIC HEALTH (TUBERCULOSIS) REGULATIONS, 1908.

The increasing number of children, particularly amongst the poorer classes, who are unprotected by vaccination constitute a serious danger. NOTES UPON SANITARY WORK. Twenty-four houses have been condemned as unfit for human habitation during the year. The Council has erected 30 cottages to provide housing accommodation for the working classes of the district. These cottages were let as soon as they were completed, and it is proved that a necessity for them existed in the district. An additional number of slightly larger houses are to be immediately erected, to be followed by a number of smaller ones, letting at about 4/- to 5/- per week. |

A number of drains have been reconstructed, and the work has been well supervised. All cases of infectious disease have been thoroughly investigated, and the houses disinfected. Workshops, slaughterhouses, cowsheds, dairies, and bakehouses have also been inspected during the year, and steps taken to secure compliance with the Acts in force referring to them. 15 HOUSING OF THE WORKING CLASSES ACT, 1890.

SANITARY INSPECTOR'S REPORT. HEALTH DEPARTMENT. 40, High Street, Barnet. January, 1912. To the Chairman and Members of the Barnet Urban District Council. Gentlemen, I have the honour of presenting to you my Third Annual Report, giving particulars of the works carried out in my Department during the year 1911, in administering the numerous Health Acts and Bye-laws in force within the district. |
6ac4c562-935b-4f25-b643-08f776af4c55 | The innumerable extra duties continually devolving upon the Health Department of the Local Authority, more especially during the past two years, both in regard to the Medical and Sanitary work, including as they do the carrying out of the provisions of a number of Acts of Parliament and Orders of the Local Government Board dealing with fresh branches of sanitary science, which it is incumbent upon the Local Authority to administer compulsorily, combined with progressive changes embracing more extensive and rigid general health conditions than in the past, have rendered it imperative that if the benefits to be derived from these measures are to be substantial, a proper system must be evolved whereby each branch of the work can be dealt with at more regular intervals. The increased Inspectorial work must of necessity carry with it increased clerical work, which, together with the ever increasing statistical requirements of the Local Government Board, takes up a considerable amount of time. |
ecc9bb24-a4c3-40f5-96c8-e38c972204d9 | 31 However, attempt will be made to carry out the requirements of these numerous Acts upon a system which will have for its object the specialising in each branch of the work at regular intervals. If the investigations of general sanitary conditions, which are of an urgent character, allow of such a system to be attained, no doubt it will be productive of a higher standard of sanitation. It is with pleasure I have to record that the policy of the Council during the past year has been one of progress in all matters relating to public health, although certain of the schemes embarked upon in the previous year for the improvement of the health of the District are as yet only in a transitional stage. While the coming year will no doubt see the consummation of some of them, in matters of Housing this work will necessarily be carried out in instalments according to the requirements of the district, and will possibly be spread over the next five years. Progress in this direction is set out in detail in the portion of the report dealing with Housing matters. |
25ea9e2c-bc13-49d3-990a-cb3cc8dcf803 | Publication of the Medical and Sanitary Reports giving details of Public Health conditions and activity in a District is becoming yearly more important and necessary, for the following reasons:βFirstly, they are required by an Order of Local Government Board which has the effect of a statutory enactment. They enable the Board to gauge the general health conditions of the country, and so bring defaulting authorities who are a menace to surrounding Districts into line, and to co-ordinate the work. |
b5aad8cb-17c2-46b0-9772-c19093a704d9 | Secondly, they have an educational value to the public, while the exchange of reports between officers in similar districts enables experiences to be compared ; and thirdly, the officers' duties being prescribed by the Local Government Board, it follows that many of them are performed upon the officers' own initiative and not at the instigation of the Council, and lying as they do with the individual rather than with the Council, it is imposible and in some cases undesirable to report in detail upon many subjects at the time, as this would entail undeserved hardship in certain cases, therefore, a great deal of discretion must perforce be left in the hands of the Public Health officials. This being the case, the annual report preserves a record of the year's achievements, and brings to the knowledge of the Council in a more intimate manner than is otherwise possible, the wide range 32 and quality of the officer's work. It likewise serves to enlist the sympathies of many outside the ranks of the Council, who are concerned in the amelioration of social conditions. |
85771c06-3be6-47ab-8ff3-aa6c4352247f | PUBLIC HEALTH ACT, 1875. INSPECTION OF DISTRICT AND REMOVAL OF NUISANCES. The general inspection of the District continues to be carried out periodically, and all complaints investigated, such nuisances as are discovered being dealt with under the provisions of the Health Acts and Bye-laws in force relating to them. The course of serving a preliminary notice upon the person in default, specifying the works necessary to abate the nuisance, has been followed. Should such person, however, fail to comply with this preliminary notice, the matter is brought before the Council and the usual statutory notice is served, which is followed up if necessary by legal proceedings. |
39e05c96-c8dc-423f-88c5-43e9385e29b5 | The policy of serving an intimation notice is a good one, inasmuch as an owner will often readily fall into line and comply with it with a better grace than if the subject matter of the notice were brought before the Council in the first instance, and realising that the Inspector wishes the abatement of the nuisance with as little friction as possible, he will often listen to and carry out suggestions for improvements such as cannot be legally enforced. There is always a tendency to resent compulsion, and therefore, any method which will secure the maximum standard of work with a minimum of friction, is obviously the proper one to pursue. When nuisances are caused by tenants and are not of a structural character, very often verbal intimation is all that is necessary to be given for their abatement. In only one instance has it been necessary to advise the Council to institute Police Court proceedings to secure compliance with a notice to abate a nuisance. |
