This house was condemned as unfit for human habitation. The owner appeared before the Council and gave an undertaking to carry out any requirements of the Council to make it habitable, and owing to the fact that the site could not be used for rebuilding should the house be demolished, the Council agreed to its being reconditioned. The house has now been reconditioned and thus rendered fit for human habitation. (7) No. 57a Sebright Road. This house was reported upon as unfit for human habitation. |
fd34b014-add2-41be-800c-2d69ab23b3db | The owner intimated that he did not propose to object to a Demolition Order and would proceed to demolish the house immediately.

This house was reported upon as unfit for human habitation. The owners stated that they did not intend the house to be occupied again as a dwelling house, and hoped the Council would allow the property to remain in its present state until after the War, at which time they proposed to submit plans to the Council for the demolition of the house and the erection of a store for Bakery raw materials, finished goods and provisions. |
7a5195a6-7cbf-40a6-9faf-3c4e445339ac | After consideration the Council informed the owners that they raised no objection to the house remaining undemolished provided it was not again used for human habitation and it was left properly protected against unauthorized access, and the creation of a nuisance. HOUSING ACT 1935 - OVERCROWDING. The overcrowding survey revealed 37 houses - 13 owned by the Council and 24 privately owned - to be overcrowded. They were reported upon to the Council and Ministry of Health, and at a later date the Council forwarded their proposals for rehousing these overcrowded families. The Act also makes it the duty of the Landlord of a house occupied by a person of the working classes, to insert in the Rent Book a summary of the Housing Act 1935, and the Permitted Number for the house. The Landlord can apply to the Local Authority for this Permitted Number. Applications in respect of 24 houses have been dealt with during the past year. |

These numbered 89 at the end of the year, a substantial reduction on the 1938 figure, owing to the accommodation provided by the building of 110 houses on the Grange Estate. The transfer of families with young children from Barnet Barracks to houses with three bedrooms is now complete. With two exceptions, all these flats have now been converted for occupation by Aged Persons. The scheme for building four and five bedroom houses on Housing land in Mays Lane to meet the requirements of families of eight, nine, ten and eleven, had to deferred on the outbreak of War.

CHIEF SANITARY INSPECTOR'S REPORT. Public Health Department, 10 Wood Street, Barnet. To the Chairman and Members of the Barnet Urban District Council. Mrs. Strugnell and Gentlemen, I have the honour to present to you my Annual Report giving particulars of the measures carried out in my Department during the year 1940, in administering the Health Acts and Bye-Lars in force in the District. |
800af1eb-3376-48bc-9919-2d5cd4e6183d | Owing to reduction in Staff, and to the large amount of work the Department is responsible for in connection with the Civil Defence Casualty Services, it has not been possible to do more than submit my report in a very condensed form, as compared with those of previous years. It is, therefore, in the main a statistical report. INSPECTION OF DISTRICT. General Inspections of the District have been carried out from time to time and all complaints investigated. The course of serving a preliminary or intimation notice upon the person in default, specifying the works necessary to abate the nuisance, continues to be followed, and only if a person fails to comply with this preliminary notice, or strict legal procedure is necessary in the first instance, is the matter reported to the Council and a statutory notice asked for. PUBLIC HEALTH ACT, 1936. INFECTIOUS DISEASES - INVESTIGATIONS AND DISINFECTIONS. |
f1b6fc6c-5202-478c-aa78-2358e66ce2f0 | The Infectious Diseases enumerated below have been investigated and reported upon to your Medical Officer of Health:- Scarlet Fever 50; Diphtheria 6; Erysipelas 13; and Pulmonary Tuberculosis 19. Fifty-three houses were disinfected wherein cases of Notifiable Infectious Diseases occurred, and bedding sent to be steam disinfected in certain cases. In addition one house was disinfected on request, after a case of nonnotifiable diseo.se. In such a case a charge of 5/- is made to cover labour and material. One hundred and. fifty-six library books from infectious houses were disinfected or destroyed. DAIRIESCOWSHEDS AND MILKSHOPS. The number of persons registered to sell milk is twenty-seven, viz;10 Dairies and Cowsheds. 17 Milkshops and Purveyors of Milk. |
e2549f78-f508-4c65-9245-c73dfe83c70f | Thirty-one inspections were made, and particular attention paid to the hygienic essentials necessary for a pure milk production and distribution. Eleven Licences were granted to sell milk under the Milk (Special Designations) Order, 1936, viz:- Tuberculin Tested 5 Accredited 1 Pasteurised 5 SLAUGHTER OF ANIMALS ACT. 1933. There are twenty persons licensed by the Council as fit persons to slaughter animals in the district as compared with nineteen in the previous year. No complaint was received concerning the conduct of any of these men. Slaughter houses are also visited by an Inspector of the R.S.P.C.A., who holds an honorary appointment under the Council, thus giving him power to enter slaughter houses in order to see that animals are humanely slaughtered. MEAT AND FOOD INSPECTION. |
99e478f5-0c3c-4839-813d-e02d08f73fea | In the early part of the year the four slaughter houses in the district were closed for the duration of the war and centralised slaughtering centres set up by the Ministry of Food as part of the scheme for meat rationing. Up to the time the slaughter houses were closed, 45 cattle, 77 calves, 79 sheep and lambs, and 52 pigs were inspected. The carcase of one pig was found to be slightly affected with Tuberculosis, The affected parts were destroyed. In addition 6 lbs. of Pork and 60 lbs. of frozen rabbits were destroyed as being unfit for human consumption. Particulars of foodstuffs condemned as unfit for food due to enemy action will be the subject of report at a later date. FOOD AND DRUGS ACT. 1938. The above Act is 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, with the results of the analyses. |

In 3 cases it was found necessary to take up and entirely relay the drains. In 60 cases drains were found to be stopped up. 52 water closets, 1 sink, 63 water closet cisterns, 31 inspection chambers and 5 soil pipes were renewed or repaired. 1 cesspool was abolished. PUBLIC HEALTH ACT. 1936. SECTION 75. Twenty-eight dustbins were provided after intimation to replace worn out receptacles, or absence of same. The provision of a proper sanitary dustbin is a very useful health measure. It also secures uniformity of receptacle and makes the task of the dustmen cleaner and easier. WATER SUPPLY. 385 cases of burst pipes occurred at the commencement of the year and repairs were carried out to same. In 8 cases the water was cut off owing to the non-payment of rates. |
9b406262-6862-43b9-9118-19b801170029 | This department was notified by the Barnet District Gas and Water Company, and steps were taken which resulted in the early reconnection of the supply. (5) FACTORIES ACT. 1937. 32 inspections of factories with mechanical power and 12 inspections of factories without mechanical power were made during the year, including bake-houses. Two notices were served on the occupiers of bake-houses for defects contravening the special sanitary sections of the Act. Three Certificates of adequate means of escape in case of fire were issued by the Council under Section 34 of the Act. INSANITARY PROPERTY. The Potteries. and Nos. 1, 2 and 3 Potteries Cottages. These premises were condemned as unfit for human habitation. As the Council had previously purchased the above property, steps were then taken to have the premises vacated. On vacation of the property the houses were demolished by the Council. |
ad126b7a-0fb1-4732-80c2-963cdd1b4b4f | HOUSING ACT 1935 - OVERCROWDING. As a result of the war it has been difficult to administer the provisions of the above Act with regard to overcrowding. An effort has, however, been made to prevent any serious overcrowding. Surveys have been carried out in respect of 62 houses, and these, together with those surveyed in previous years, make a total 3,590 on the files of the department, from which a new start can be made after the war. APPLICATIONS FOR COUNCIL HOUSES, These numbered 157 at the end of the year, 44 applicants from this list were provided with houses. In addition, 16 local bombed families were given tenancies and arrangements were made whereby two further such families became sub-tenants for the period of the war in the absence of the proper tenants. PETROLEUM CONSOLIDATION ACT 1928. There are thirty-three persons licensed to store petroleum upon the Register, as against thirty-four last year. |
4bf8a207-68ac-438d-8039-92630cd23b9d | The licences are for varying quantities from 100 gallons to 6,000 gallons. The total quantity of petroleum spirit which may be kept in the various stores is 29,248 gallons, as against 32,450 gallons last year. Thirty-nine inspections were made, but there was no serious breach of Regulations to report. (6) Tanks placed underground and supplying by means of pumps have practically taken the place of cans, and are much safer. These tanks and pumps now number 51. One licence was issued for storage of 112 lbs. of Carbide of Calcium. The scale of fees for licences to store petroleum ranges from 5/- for a quantity not exceeding 100 gallons., to £1 for a 1,000 - 5,000 gallons. ERADICATION OF BED BUGS. |

95c40714-ade6-4087-b82c-39167fdc3ffa | Chairman, Madam and Gentlemen, I have much pleasure in presenting the annual report on the health of the district for the year 1940, which was prepared by Dr. Hardie for whom I have been acting since April 1941. The Minister of Health in Circular 2314 of the 26th March, 1941, has recommended that interim reports only should be made in respect of the year 1940 and that all statistical information if omitted from the report should be carefully preserved. In this report therefore, wherever curtailment is compatible with completeness, it has been effected ; the usual tables have however been incorporated in the report in order that the annual records in respect of the district may, as far as practicable, be continuous and complete. As was the case during the first year of war much has been accomplished during the year now under review despite additional duties imposed upon the staff. |
5cc1aa71-2f06-45ec-af61-21970bea138b | That there has been no relaxation in the attentions devoted to public health matters is borne out by the Sanitary Inspector's records of inspections, notices served and improvements effected during the year. Details of these will be found on pages 11, 12 and 13 respectively. The Measles and Whooping Cough Regulations came into force during the year whereby these diseases became notifiable. A minor epidemic of measles was experienced towards the close of the year. I am, Your obedient Servant, G. Winn Everett, Acting Medical Officer of Health. |

Mr. Chairman, Madam and Gentlemen, My second annual report, abridged in accordance with the recommendations of the Ministry of Health, has been pruned and attentuated ad nauseam ; it goes to press in the semblance of a catalogue, tabulated statement upon tabulated statement, dull and spiritless. Nevertheless, its compilation has been a pleasant task, and though the crust is not so nicely browned as I would wish, the pie is full of meat ! Duties in connection with billeting and rehousing developed apace towards the close of the year when there was a considerable influx into the district of homeless persons and certain priority classes from evacuation areas. |
7da68518-b27f-4dce-961d-0a1eba01c188 | The work involved made tremendous inroads into my time and in the multiplicity of other civil defence duties which were assigned to me there were moments when I might almost have forgotten that I was primarily a sanitary inspector. Indeed I hope that ultimately, when the tumult and the shouting have died, such I shall be, wholeheartedly and unfettered. For vital public health work must and shall go on ; wars and rumours of wars retard the ennobling pursuit but cannot subdue it. Not once, even in the thick of these extraneous obligations, have I been tempted to apostrophize the spirit of public health with the words of Henry V's admonition to Falstaff—" I know thee not, old man ; fall to thy prayers " ! Two years in your service have heightened my indebtedness to my colleagues for their ungrudging co-operation and as I place my report in your hands I cannot but reiterate with renewed sincerity my profound gratitude to you for your continued confidence and support. I have the honour to remain, Mr. |

To the Chairman and. Members of the Barnet Urban District Council. Mrs. Strugnell and Gentlemena, I have the honour to present to you my Annual Report giving particulars of the measures carried out in my Department during the year 1942, in administering the Health Acts and Bye-Laws in force in the District. |
93c2971a-5efc-473f-8521-2e8092c3559f | Owing to reduction in Staff, and to the large amount of work the Department is responsible for in connection with the Civil Defence Casualty Services, it has not been possible to do more than submit my report in a very condensed form, as compared with those of pre-war years. It is, therefore, in the main a statistical report, INSPECTION OF DISTRICT. General Inspections of the District have been carried out from time to time and all complaints investigated. The course of serving a preliminary or intimation notice upon the person in default, specifying the works necessary to abate the nuisance, continues to be followed, and only if a person fails to comply with this preliminary notice, or strict legal procedure is necessary in the first instance, is the matter reported to the Council and a statutory notice asked for.
