SANITARY INSPECTOR'S REPORT. HEALTH DEPARTMENT, 40, High Street, Barnet, January, 1914. To the Chairman and Members of the Barnet Urban District Council. Gentlemen, I have the honour of presenting to you my Sixth Annual Report, giving particulars of the measures carried cut in my Department during the year 1914 in administering the numerous Health Acts and Bye-laws in force within the district. |
421c97e1-ce55-4156-9fc1-330a5a7b0f3f | The Council will readily understand that owing to my having taken a Commission in His Majesty's Forces early in the year for the period of the War it has not been possible for me to compile such a detailed report as in former years, although the quality and quantity of work carried out was well up to that of any previous year. The report will therefore contain the work carried out during the year chiefly in table form, and much of the usually written portions must perforce be omitted. COMPLAINTS. The number of complaints received during the vear was 122. These were enquired into, and the necessary notices served. 35 The following table shows the nature and number of the complaints in which action was taken:— NATURE OF COMPLAINT. No. |
d1721781-159f-4fae-891c-c03fdd6cbf13 | Choked condition of drains 2 Defective drains 16 Dilapidated paving of yards 2 Absence of paving 3 Defective and obsolete water closet cisterns 1 Non-removal of house refuse 5 Offensive accumulations 20 Nuisance from smoke 1 Houses not provided with dust receptacle 12 Damp walls 3 Defective roofs 1 Overcrowded houses 3 Dirty houses 2 Insanitary condition of premises 6 Offensive public-house urinals 1 Defective water-closets 6 Fowls improperly kept 5 Defective eaves and down spouting 19 Miscellaneous 14 Total 122 MEAT INSPECTION. Visits have constantly been paid to the Slaughter Houses in order to see that the meat supply is wholesome and free from disease. On one occasion my attention was called to the carcases of three pigs. Upon examination I noticed external signs of Swine Fever. |
302a6df2-54a0-46a8-9e00-f51d52e0f0f6 | The entrails had been thrown into the manure barrel, but fortunately I was able to recover them. These exhibited on their internal surfaces characteristic lesions and enteritis. Necrosis of the tissue was present in the cœcum and round the ileo-cœcal valve and there were small ulcers in the colon. Some of the necrotic patches showed the typical black centre. I was satisfied that it was swine fever, and accordingly informed the local Inspector under the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act, who wired to the Board of Agriculture. The Board sent an Inspector down, who took away portions of the intestines for examination in the Government Laboratories. This examination confirmed my diagnosis. 36 As the entrails had not been kept separate, some difficulty arose as to the affected carcases, as in one instance the entrails showed no sign of the disease. |
ee277a73-bc0e-425b-9fcc-719c945a5de8 | After concurring with the Inspector it was agreed that I should seize two of the carcases which showed signs of the disease, while in the case of the remaining carcase, with the exception of one of the hind quarters which had an affection of the lymphatics, it was passed for food. On one occasion 57 pairs of kippers were submitted for my examination. They were found to be in a state of decomposition. The hawker voluntarily surrendered them, and I granted him a certificate in order to obtain a refund of the price paid for them. The kippers were destroyed upon receipt of Magistrate's order.

It will therefore be seen that the above number of samples taken is considerably below this minimum. FACTORY AND WORKSHOP ACT, 1901. WORKSHOPS. Five notices of occupation of new Workshops have been received during the year from the Home Office. |
9f2150ce-d9e6-4da5-987e-0a07b2f359ae | The total number of Workshops upon the register is 56, being an increase of 4 on the previous year. One Workshop was found to be without the Abstract of the Act affixed as required by sec. 128 of the Act. The Workshops are inspected in order to see that no insanitary conditions exist, and cards are affixed stating the number of persons who may be allowed to work in each room. 38 Attention is paid to the cleansing, limewashing, lighting, and ventilation of the rooms. Where any infringement of the Act was found the occupier was notified to remedy the neglect or default. BAKEHOUSES. The number of Bakehouses upon the register is the same as last year, viz., 9. This includes one underground bakehouse not in use. Inspections were made to see that the special sanitary requirements with respect to bakehouses were being carried out. OUTWORKERS. |
1d6e6a61-a458-495d-9b11-3f97cb7eb917 | Six lists of outworkers have been received, and the premises inspected in order to ascertain that the work was being carried out under proper conditions, and that no infectious disease existed. FACTORIES. FIRE ESCAPE AND SANITARY CONVENIENCES. The fire escapes have all been maintained in good condition and free from obstruction, and the sanitary conveniences were found to be sufficient in number, and to be kept in a cleanly condition. Tables, giving particulars of factory and workshop inspection, appear on pages 29, 30, 31. DRAINAGE WORK. This important work has received the same careful attention as in former years. Owing to the number of applications received from time to time from persons who desire to rent or purchase a house, for a certificate that the drainage is in good condition, the Council decided to meet the wishes of such persons, and tests are now made for a fee of 10s. 6d., payable to the Council in advance. |
e9bf0b38-bfcf-4e7c-a899-4d6bb07881f4 | The time occupied in carrying out drainage works is very considerable, and necessitates frequent visits to give 39 tions, supervising work in progress, and testing new lengths of drains and sanitary fittings. Drains were reported upon and examined under the provisions of Sec. 41 of the Public Health Act, 1875, while the remaining drains were examined by means of the smoke test. The Council have not been called on during the year to lay any lengths of sewer on private property. The total number of drains to houses and other premises reconstructed during the year was 22. Repeated visits have been paid to works in progress. |
b123fe51-2b72-4036-9078-19e2f7a4d237 | The reconstruction of these drains has necessitated the laying of approximately 895 yards of glazed earthenware and iron drain pipes; 40 gullies, 18 intercepting traps, 13 pedestal, etc., water closets, 3 soil pipes, and 19 ventilation shafts were fixed; 30 manholes and inspection chambers were built, the number of tests applied to the lengths of drains being 84 water tests and 22 smoke tests. 40 Materials used in Construction, &c.

5fcf7aec-feb2-4cd8-82e5-b10ba1d21b66 | The Council decided that the offenders should be written to and informed that in future they would be dealt with under Section 9 of the Act of 1871, which enacts that "Any licensee violating any of the conditions of his licence shall be deemed to be an unlicensed person." The warnings had the desired effect, and the quantity allowed to be kept in each case has not been exceeded.

d6a1069d-fcc3-4b2c-899e-66dce30e10e0 | In accordance with instructions from the Local Government Board, I am furnishing a short interim report and many of the usual details are omitted. The Infantile Mortality Rate has been 98 per 1,000. The number of Infantile Deaths has been 10 - of these 4 were due to premature birth, 1 to congenital heart disease, 1 to jaundice and 3 to diseases usually styled "preventible," that is, 2 to pneumonia, and 1 to convulsions. The average infantile mortality rate for the last 5 years has been 73. Birth Rate, This has been 10.4 per 1,000. Total births 125 Boys 61 - Girls 64. The number of births is about half the prewar number and is due largely to war conditions, and the limitation of families associated with high prices and difficult conditions of life. Illegitimate Births. Boys 4 - Girls 3. Death Rate. |

Males 4 Females 16 There was an outbreak of moderate severity in june end July, from October to Christmas it was very prevalent and of a severs type. Pneumonia was present in a considerable number of cases, (1) of the lobar type, (2) "Septic" with death following within a few hours of onset almost invariably. There was a great shortage of doctors to cope with the epidemic in the district. Of the six resident normally, two were in the Army, one was seriously ill, and two "locume" were incapacitated by the disease. |
b90cdb1d-eeac-49d2-96e6-d7ed5633f466 | The remaining three were too overworked to do any pathologioal or other investigations into the cause and nature of the disease. It is estimated that there were about 4,000 cases, including mild ones, though no actual figures are available, A post-mortem was done in one case, in which the lungs were found to consist of scattered patches of solid lung with generalised purluent bronchitis. There was no evidence on the means of introduction of the disease, though it was definitely transmitted by close contact. The period of incubation was short, probably two or three days only. Infectivity appeared to cease with subsidence of fever. Previous attacks did not appear to give protection, The disease started amongst school-children, was very prevalent and more severe amongst healthy young adults and was almost entirely absent amongst elderly, weakly people. Advice and warnings were published in the local Press, All day and Sunday-schools were closed, and the Cinema was closed at short intervals for ventilation and disinfection. |
65a841a7-0284-4851-ac09-adf29515073d | The only hospital treatment available was the Workhouse Infirmary. It is doubtful if any scheme of hospital treatment could have dealt with so large a number of cases. As was to be expeoted, there was a great shortage of nurses. Vaccine treatment was attempted in several cases with doubtful success. Measles. it is noteworthy that only 35 oases of lieasles, with no deaths occurred, as against 198, with 2 deaths, in 1917. Troops. Very few troops have been billeted in the district. The new Workhouse Infirmary has been used as a Military Hospital, and the Ewen Hall, Wood Street, as a V.A.D. Hospital, with 70 beds. Maternity & Child Welfare. "A dent re has been carried on during the year at the Church House. The work is growin; steaaily. |
b8f6bb0d-810c-439e-9437-c02ede6fe7aa | 172 children under 5 attended in 1918, with a total number of attendances of 1,049, as against 586 in 1917. There was only one death amongst these children. The mothers attend very regularly, and the weekly number of children who are brought varies from 30 - 40. Practically no ante-natal work has been done during the year, There is no suitable accommodation for this and the local midwifes do not appear to be interested in the Maternity Welfare Work, Dr, Swatman of the Herts, County Council is in charge. Small-pox Accommodation. Small-pox accommodation has been provided at Cheshunt. Housing. It has not been possible for the Council tr deal with the unsatisfactory Housing conditions existing in parts of the district, although attention has repeatedly been called to various property by the Sanitary Inspector and myself. Overcrowding has been taking place with its resultant bad effects. |
2da0c3e7-b93c-4891-a1f1-b5d1092e516a | As soon as suitable accommodation can be provided several houses will have to be closed. It is anticipated that the passing of a new Housing Bill will enable local authorities to deal more stringently with this important question rnd that it will be incumbent upon authorities to provide adequate housing accommodation to meet the needs of the District. The present Estato is to be developed further, witty 8 houses to the acre. 113 new houses are to be added to the existing 5£. This matter is receiving the most urgent and constant attention of the Council. I am 'Yours faithfully, CHAS.F. HARDI M,A, M,,B, B.O. Hedi Officer of Health. Cantab, BARNET URBAE DISTRICT COUNCIL. ACTING SANITARY INSPECTOR'S REPORT. 1 Health Department, Munici pal Offices, Barnet. March, 1919. To The Chairman & Members the Barnet urban District Council. |
e72b11d5-8939-44e5-b3db-d726c700e47a | Gentlemen, I have pleasure in presenting report giving brief particulars with regard to the Sanitation of the District for the year 1918. During this year health work has materially increased, and it has been extremely arduous to cope with the duties involved, especially with a much depleted staff, due to officials being engaged on more important "Active Service." Meat &. Food Inspection. The control of food has greatly assisted in securing more efficient, inspection of food supplies, more particularly regarding meat and milk supplies, and it is hoped control, in so far as pure food supplies may be effected, Will be retained. The system of calling attention for inspection cy the Health Department, of articles of food of which the tradesman may have suspicion as to soundness, is now well established and operates in the interests of all concerned. I submit list showing the quantities of food condemned as unfit for human consumption:- Name. no. Carcase & Offal??? of Cows &- heifers. |

It has only been necessary to institute proceedings in one case for non-compliance of notice served under Sec. 41 of the P.H.A. 1875. The Council carried out the work of laying new drainage to a Factory in the District, the old drains being in bad condition and injurious to the health of the workers at this Factory. The proceedings were successful and payment is now being enforced. Sale of Food .& Drugs Acts. The above Acts are enforced by the County- Authority in this District, The following Table shows the number and nature of the samples taken in the Urban District during the past year, with the results of analysis:- .

The large number of samples of milk were taken as I had received several complaints as to the poor quality. The number of samples taken, although an increase on previous years, is considered insufficient and representation is being made to the County Council by Cr, Fern, The Board of Agriculture suggest the minimum number of samples taken should be 3 per thousand. Dairies, Cowsheds & Milkshops. Syatemmatic inspection has been made of the above premises, in order to ascertain compliance with the Council's Byelaws is being adhered to. Attention has had to be drawn to the Owners in a few instances, which has had the desired effect. Pure Milk. |
da23c06a-65e1-4b65-ac58-8b878c98e259 | She present supply and defective distribution of milk calls for proper attontion. The bringing into operation of the Milk & Dairies (Consolidation) Act, 1915, together with the Tuberculosis Order, 1914, will help oonsiderably to solve this question, Both of these Orders have been suspended during the War. Insanitary Property, Housing. The provision of adequate housing accommodation has engaged the Council's careful consideration, and tentative proposals for the further development of the Council's Housing Estate have been approved by the Local Government Board, It has not been possible to deal properly with the unsatisfactory and slum houses, although a large number have been scheduled as unfit for human habitation. Closing Orders have been delayed because there was nowhere else for the people to bo housed. |
b9866f51-fc24-4d6d-b876-a4c5de5bec90 | A "House to House" inspection will be proceeded with in order to fully ascertain the con-, dition of property in the Town, Pull report on Housing has been submitted to the Council, Much assistance is afforded by the Medical Practitioners and individual members of the Council in calling my attention to property. I am, Mr, Chairman & Gentlemen, Yours obediently, Wm. PLUMPTON. A.R.San.I. Acting Sanitary inspector |

a11962a5-cf16-45ce-99ee-1c2a0f0e375e | To the Chairman & Members of the Barnet Urban District Council. Mrs Burton & Gentlemen, I have much pleasure in presenting to you my Report on the Health of the District for the year 1925. The District is in the Barnet Union, and includes the parishes of Arkley, Chipping Barnet, Hadley, South Mimms and Totteridge, and has an area of 3,112 acres. The Town known locally as High Barnet, stands upon a hill at an altitude of 430 feet above sea level. The geological formation upon the hill consists of gravel overlying beds of London clay, while in the valleys the clay comes to the surface. The Town is situated amidst beautiful soenery, and fringes the borders of Hertfordshire and Middlesex. It is about 10 miles from Charing Cross, on what may be termed the crowning summit of the Northern Heights. |
db36fdce-af94-4dd9-b429-b910a4e5f180 | The District is bracing and healthy, for which reason it is becoming an increasingly popular residential area. NATURAL AND SOCIAL CONDITIONS. The population is largely residential, end consists chiefly of people whose occupation lies outside the urban area. Those employed in the District apart from tradesmen and their employees, are mainly skilled workers at dental manufacturing, lithographic, printing and optical works. Poor Law Relief is supplied by the Barnet Union and provides a Workhouse and Hospital of about 200 beds, both of which are situated within, the Urban District. i (6) POPULATION. The population of Barnet taken at the Census of 1921, was 11,772. In estimating the population of any District, the estimate is always made to Midsummer. The method of estimating the population adopted by the Registrar General is based on the supposition that the rate of increase during the decennial period 1921 to 1931 will be at the seme rate as in the previous decennial period. |
d1b1b517-405d-4dd5-9c32-de1fd46b6c1f | Such an estimate would be approximately correct in a District where the growth is more or less on a natural basis viz:- excess of births over deaths; but in Barnet, occupying as it does, the position of a suburb of London, this method is obviously inapplicable, the migration being an ever increasing quantity. The more correct method in this case would be to take the number of inhabited houses and multiply by the average number of persons per house existing at the Census. The following table shows the number of inhabited houses, together with the estimated population for each parish on this basis:- Parish. No. of occupied Houses. Population. Arkley. 258 1174 Chipping Barnet. 095 4282 Hadley. 91 372 South Mimms. 1233 5721 Totterdige. 159 821 DENSITY OF POPULATION. The District has an area of 3,112 acres. |
f0938bae-37eb-4175-90c7-7689317721b0 | The average number of persons to the acre at the Census of 1921 was 3.8. The number of persons to each acre is now estimated at 4. (7) The following table gives the density of population of each parish in the District:- Perish. Area in Acres. Population. Density per acre . Arkley. 830 1174 1.4 Chipping Barnet. 379 4282 11.3 Hadley. 27 372 14.0 South Mirams. 272 5721 21.0 Totteridge. 1604 821 0.5 BIRTH RATE. The nett number of Births registered in the District during the year was 189, as compared with 156 in the previous year . Of these Dirths 95 were male and 94 female. |
aaed8cc3-caa2-49b0-9e26-d49367d624d6 | The Birth-rate calculated as the rate per 1000 of the population, is 15.5 as compared with 12.8 in 1924. The nett illegitimate births registered give a proportion of 21.1 per 1000 of the total births. death 162 deaths (nett) were registered in the District during the past year, as compared with 120 in the previous year. The crude death rate is 13.3 per 1000 of the population living at all ages, and the corrected death rate 11.5. Public Institutions such as the Wellhouse Hospital have to be taken into account, as a large number of deaths accur in this Institution belonging to other districts in the Union. It is therefore necessary to make corrections by inward and outward transfers of deaths. (8) INFANTILE MORTALITY. The Rate of Infantile Mortality for the past year was 68 per 1000, as compared with 45 during 1924. |
3d24b4a6-2b07-4885-8459-00458330d024 | The average for the past five years has been 47 per 1000. The Rate is calculated as the ratio of infant deaths to births per 1000. The Notification of Births Act 1907, is administered by the Herts County Council. Infantile Mortality has a variety of causes, among which alcoholism, and contamination of infant's food, improper feeding, impure milk, insanitary conditions, and overcrowding are noteworthy. There have been no deaths from Infantile Diarrhoea during the past year. ZYMOTIC DISEASES. The number of deaths from diseases of this class was 3, viz:1 Scarlet Fever and 2 Whooping Cough. The number of cases of Infectious Diseases notified during 1925 was 115, of this number 55 were Chicken Pox. |
4353eb63-36fa-4ab3-ba06-c02ee17d90c9 | The following table shows tho number of Notifications to tho Sanitary Authority during the year of each disease specified in the Infectious Diseases (Notification) Act and subsequent Orders, and the number removed to Hospital:- Nature of Infectious Disease.

65a00f29-0df2-415a-9a65-f66fd124d4ff | The Council ereoted 52 cottages before the War. This has been followed up since the war by 93 new buildings and 8 existing cottages reconstructed under the Addison Scheme; 23 cottages under the Chamberlain Act; 18 Barracks Flats obtained on lease from the War Office and 42 Tenant Purohase Houses. An estate of 22½ acres has been purchased for additional houses, and a oontract for 111 cottages has been let. These will be completed in batches during the next 18 months. Loans totalling approximately £30,000 have been made under the Small Dwellings Acquisition Act, and a Loan of £12,000 under the Housing Act, 1925 for 21 houseB on similar lines to the Council's tenant purohase scheme. This scheme is being run by a private gentleman, who is disposing of the houses at cost price and is not requiring the tenant purohaser to put down any deposit. |
0b22ea1d-f93d-4a6c-80c3-f775a8687cef | OVERCROWDING. The dearth of housing accommodation is responsible for a certain amount of overcrowding amongst the poorer classes but only in about 7 cases can this be said to be serious. These cases are receiving the consideration of the Council and no doubt when the first batoh of houses at present under construction is completed, certain of the cases will be dealt with. The Council are erecting a number of small two bedroomed cottages the rents of whioh it is hoped will be within the means of these persons. (17) HOUSING STATISTICS FOR THE YEAR 1926.

Health Department, Council Offices, Barnet. January, 1926. To the Chairman and Members of the Barnet Urban District Council. Mrs Burton and Gentlemen, I have the honour of presenting to you my Annual Report, giving particulars of the measures carried out in my Department during the year 1925, in administering the numerous Health Aots and Bye-Laws in force within the District. Eaoh suoceeding year sees an addition to the legislation affecting Publio Health Departments, and the past year has been no exception to this rule. The Public Health Act 1925 which is partly adoptive and partly of general application comes into force on January 1st, 1926. |
1d466aa9-4db3-431c-9096-c04ca736a461 | Steps are being taken by the Council to include the Adoptive parts. The Provisions of the Act consist chiefly of clauses taken from Private Aots obtained from time to time by various Local Authorities, many of the provisions of whioh will be of great advantage to the District. The Housing Act 1925 came into force on July 1st, 1925 and consolidates the various enactments relating to the Housing of the Working Classes, and contains 137 sections with 6 schedules. The Public Health (Meat) Regulations oame into force on April 1st, 1925, and in my opinion is a great step forward towards securing a uniform moat inspection. The chief clauses will be dealt with later under the heading Meat Inspection. (22) INSPECTION OF DISTRICT. A general Inspection of the District is carried out from time to time and steps taken to abate such nuisances as are discovered. This inspection work includes visits to premises wherein various trades are carried on. |
06b01113-b57a-48a0-8f73-0e21261206b5 | In order to secure the carrying out of such remedial works as were found necessary, a preliminary notice or letter was served upon the person in default, requiring him to comply with the particular section of such Act or Bye-law as was infringed, and where compliance necessitated structural works these wore specified. If tho person failed to comply with the notioe, the matter was reported to the Counoil, and a statutory notice was authorised. The following table shows the number end nature of inspections and visits paid during the year:- Number of Houses and Premises inspected. 293 " Houses and Premises re-inspected. 331 " Miscellaneous visits. 41 " Visits to Works in progress. 388 " " Bakehouses. 24 " " Slaughter Houses. 62 " " Homeworker's Premises. 2 " " Workshops and Workplaces. 47 " " Factories. 19 " " Dairies, Cowsheds & Milkshops. 26 " " Sohools. |

The number of complaints received during tho year were below the average, and numbered 92. These were enquired into, and where the complaint Justified, notice was served upon the owner or occupier as occasion demanded to abate the nuisance. (23) The following table shows the nature and number of the complaints in which action was taken:- Nature of Complaints No. Defective drains. 6 Dilapidated paving of yards. 7 Absence of paving. 4 Defective and obsolete Water-Closet Cisterns. 11 Non-removal of House Refuse. 7 Offensive Accumulations. 13 Nuisance from smoke. 2 Houses not provided with dust receptacle. 8 Damp Walls. 4 Defective Roofs. |

The Caravans which entered the District to attend Barnet Fair were for the most part inspected as in former years, in order to see that they were kept in a cleanly state and that no illness existed Amongst the inmates which might be of an infectious character. It is essential to keep a strict look out on these caravan dwellers, because living as they do, a nomad life, they are sometimes the medium of the spread of infectious diseases from one town to another. I am glad to say there was no evidence of any illness of an infectious character during the present year. The necessary temporary sanitary accommodation was enforced in different sections of the Fair for the use of the Caravaners and this was supplemented for the general Public by temporary erections at the foot of Barnet Hill by the Bast Barnet Valley Council and at the Station by the Railway Company. |
5c490179-97a2-4180-853f-59092158ce65 | An early morning collection was made of all refuse, fish shells &c:. (24) COMMON LODGING HOUSES. There are two Common lodging Houses in the District, and the accommodation provided by these Houses is for 51 Lodgers. One house is a mixed Lodging-House and the other for males only A number of inspections have been paid to them and I always found the promises kept in a fairly clean condition. During Barnet Pair midnight inspections were made to see that the Act and Bye-laws were not infringed. Improvements to the Sanitary accommodation has been carried out at one of these houses. Cards are affixed in each room stating whether they are for single or married couples, and also prescribing the number of persons which can be accommodated therein. Walls and ceilings are required to be limewashed twice a year. INFECTIOUS DISEASES PREVENT ACT. 1890. |
d936d98d-78f8-4540-9bb4-92a8c2f014bd | The Infectious Diseases enumerated below have been investigated and reported upon to your Medical Officer of Health viz:- Scarlet Fever. 38 Diphtheria. 3 Enteric (Typhoid) Fever. 1 Erysipelas. 5 Encephalitis Lethargica. 3 Pulmonary Tuberculosis. 16 60 Mo special sanitary action was taken in respect of the 55 oases of Chicken Pox notified. In all 65 visits were paid to houses wherein infectious cases occurred, ♦ « (25) DISINFECTION. 76 rooms were disinfected in houses wherein cases of Infectious Diseases occurred, and in addition, in a number of oases the bedding was sent to be disinfected by the Steam Disinfector. The Steam Disinfector is available upon payment for disfnfaction of bedding after oases of non-notifiable diseases, and is occasionally made use of. |
e6df19d5-1d5b-40c3-92c7-bc47617f96f8 | The system of disinfection employed As that of fumigation by means of Formalin Vap Lamps, after which the rooms have ye be thoroughly cleansed. SALE Of FOOD AND DRUGS ACTS. The above Acts are enforced by the County Authority in this District. The following table shows the number and nature of the samples taken in the Urban District of Barnet during the past year, with the results of analyses:- Article Number of Samples Taken. Genuine Adulterated. Extent and Form of Adulteration. Remarks. Milk. 14 13 1 7% added water Case pending Butter. 77 7 Cream. 3 3 Margarine. 1 1 Vinegar. 1 1 Totals. 26 85 1 - - The Board of Agriculture suggest that the minimum number of samples which should be taken in any District is 3 per 1000 of the population. |
d0e06087-4cf5-452a-a30f-588b0bc91b2a | It will therefore be seen from the above table that the number of samples taken falls below the suggested minimum by about 14. V (26) MEAT AID FOOD INSPECTION. Speacial attention has been paid to the question of Meat and Food Inspection and the following diseased and unsound food has been destroyed during the year. 1 Caroase of Beef. Tubercular. 154 libs of Beef. 12 libs of Corned Beef. 18 Caroases of Pigs. Swine Fever and Pneumonia. 84 libs of Cod. The Swine Fever occurred in a herd of pedigree pigs and on the advice of an Inspector of the Ministry of Agriculture the owner caused the whole herd to be slaughtered. I was therefore called in to examine the carcases and pass any that were fit for food. 4 small pigs had previously died. |
b4a47fe2-f373-4c69-8a89-5021a0361dee | In addition to a sow affected with the disease, the pigs condemned, which were mostly small, were found to be affected with Pneumonia. Twenty-four pigs were passed as fit for food and sent to the London Meat Markets. I communicated with the Chief Meat Inspector informing him of the circumstances and asking him to make a final examination before the carcases were placed on the market which he did. The new Meat Regulations which came into operation on April 1st, 1925 provide for the notification of the time and place of the Slaughter of animals with certain exceptions, special provisions dealing with Shops, Stores, Transport and Handling of Meat, and hygienic methods to be adopted in Slaughter Houses and powers ere given which may be said to provide a real step forward in the production of clean meat. DAIRIES COWSHEDS AND MILKSHOPS ORDER. The number of persons registered to sell milk is 23 as follows:- Dairies and Cowsheds. |
70d7139c-5e5f-4798-b33f-a7b2935e3848 | 15 Milkshops and Purveyors of Milk. 8 Total. 23 (2?) All the above promisee have been inspected during the year and special attention paid to the sanitary arrangements, distance of manure heaps from the dairy so as to prevent contamination of milk by flies &c:. The Drainage to one Cowshed at Totteridge was found to be defective. Inasmuch as these sheds are drained into a cesspool and a sewer is being laid along the road in front of the premises the question of re-drainage has been left on abeyance fore short period, but as soon as the sewer is ready to receive the drainage, the owner will be required to re-construct the drain and connect to the sewer. The cesspool will also be abolished. One person was found to have erected a Cowshed in a field and was selling milk without being registered. The shod did not comply with the Order and Bye-laws and steps are being taken to secure conformity therewith. |
064062b9-1c56-4127-860c-0a2d00f13ac4 | Six notices wore served in connection with these premises. The ease with which Milk is contaminated, both by disease germs and filth, and the ready manner in which it transmits disease, make the question of the hygiene of the dairy of great importance and the enforcement of the necessary hygienic measures a necessity, end this subject will receive additional attention in the future. PRIVATE SLAUGHTER HOUSES. The number of Slaughter Houses in the District is six. Pour Of these are licensed and the remaintag two are registered. Frequent removal of the garbage is insisted upon, also limewashing when necessary. Steps are being taken to improve the drainage of one of these premises. . (28) FACTORY AND WORKSHOP ACT, 1901. The total number of workshops upon the register is 54. These were visited in order to see that the various provisions of the Act were being complied with as regards sanitary accomodation, ventilation, fire escape etc. |
e6936f23-e8bd-46c5-9a81-dd7617504cb6 | BAKEHOUSES. The number of bakehouses upon the register is 6. An underground bakchouse which has not been in use for some years has been struck off the Register. They have all been inspected at least twice during the year. Statutory notices were served in two cases (1) To remedy a damp wall and (2) To cleanse and limewash the bakehouse and cleanse the cake mixer. The latter case was reported to the Council and it was decided to warn the occupier that unless the premises were kept in a more cleanly state in future legal proceedings would be taken. FACTORIES. FIRE ESCAPE MP SANITARY CONVENIENCES. An inspection was made of Fire Escapes and Sanitary Conveniences to all Factories. In the case of one Factory the drains which were found defective were repaired. The other defects were of a minor character. WORKPLACES. |
