Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil It is pleasing to report that the incidence of infectious disease shews a general decrease from last year. The three cases of food poisoning resident in this district were not connected although the causative organism, salmonella typhimurium, was the same. Two of the cases, although soon clear of the main symptoms, were a long time under medical attention before being declared free from infection. Complaint was made by a person residing outside the district who suspected that he had food poisoning following a meal at a local cafe. However the complaint was not made until after three days had passed, and the complainant himself had not called in a doctor. Specimens obtained from the cafe and staff all proved negative. |
e3d3824a-1cd7-4c5d-b729-512abb5fa71a | This was only a minor incident but it does point to the necessity for immediate and urgent action if any beneficial results are to be obtained in preventing the spread of food poisoning. Poliomyelitis is absent from the list this year, and with increased supplies (9) of vaccine it is to be hoped that full advantage will be taken by all classes of the population eligible to receive it, so that this disease may stay permanently out of the list. The 15-25 years of age group became eligible towards the end of the year but the demand for registration has been extremely poor. This group is not so easy of access as the younger people who are still at school. They are getting out into the world, beyond parental control and enjoying their new freedoms, believing possibly that they had left behind such childish things as "infantile" paralysis which is of course far from the truth. With a fair proportion of school age children now vaccinated the age incidence of poliomyelitis is likely to move upwards. |

The cases of Tuberculosis removed for treatment are usually sent to Clare Hall Sanatorium, South Mimms, other patients with an infectious disease being sent to Coppett's Wood Hospital, Muswell Hill, N.10. PUBLIC HEALTH (PREVENTION OF TUBERCULOSIS) REGULATIONS. 1925. It has not been found necessary to take any action under the above Regulations, relating to Tuberculous employees in the Milk Trade. PUBLIC HEALTH ACT. 1936. SECTION 172. |
9c1c8f2e-994c-4ec9-9356-5d1511d34ab7 | COMPULSORY REMOVAL TO HOSPITAL OF CASES OF PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS. No action was necessary under the above Section. INTERNATIONAL VACCINATION CERTIFICATES. At the end of 1952 a new form was introduced for International Vaccination Certificates requiring authentication of the signature of the doctor performing vaccination or inoculation of persons proceeding overseas. During the year one hundred and fifty-eight such certificates were authenticated and marked with the internationally agreed stamp. NATIONAL ASSISTANCE ACT. 1947 - SECTION 47. NATIONAL ASSISTANCE (AMENDMENT) ACT. 1951 -SECTION 1. During the year it was found necessary to obtain emergency orders for the removal to hospital of two aged and infirm persons, one of either sex. I am pleased to say that although the official action was necessary to get them into hospital, both quickly settled down happily. |
6f88ee89-1b4e-4472-8fce-533f7a596122 | Five aged persons came under our notice but unofficial action secured or appears about to secure a satisfactory outcome in each case. In this work the Old Peoples Welfare Committee are performing an excellent service. A lady visitor maintains a regular and close contact with many aged persons helping them in their problems. Through her, it is hoped that some of these aged and oft times very independent people will be persuaded to accept assistance and the services (11) available to then, thus avoiding interference with their liberty by official action. MORTAL STATISTICS. Of 239 deaths, 10 occurred tinder one year of age. The following were the major causes of death:- Heart Disease 93; Cancer 52 (27 males and 25 females); Vascular Lesions of Nervous system 34; Bronchitis 9; Pneumonia 14; Motor Vehicle accidents 3; Other accidents 5. MORTUARY ACCOMMODATION. |
7aa3cee6-ed51-4488-a3eb-5f3bc071160d | Under arrangements made with the East Barnet Urban District Council their mortuary is available for the use of this district, and it was so used on only two occasions daring the year. I am, Yours faithfully, ARTHUR L. HYATT, M.R.C.S.(Eng.), L.R.C.P. MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH. (12) BARNET URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. CHIEF PUBLIC HEALTH INSPECTOR'S REPORT. Public Health Department, 31 Wood Street, Barnet. To the Chairman and Members of the Barnet Urban District Council. I have the honour to present my Annual Report for the year 1958. There has been no great demand for certificates of disrepair under the Rent Act 1957, and the work of securing demolition of some unfit houses and repair of others has continued in accord with the programme. |
087f420e-0566-4554-abc5-7aab21dc30dd | The Council extended the Oaklands Road sewer and, before the end of the year, the majority of owners in the area had connected or were in process of connecting their house drains to it. In conjunction with our neighbour Elstree Rural District Council, preliminary steps were taken towards establishing a Smoke Control Area on the L.C.C. estate on the west side of the Banet Bye Pass. Certain initial information had been sent to the Ministry but the preliminary Ministerial approval had not been secured at the end of the year. Such approval is necessary for various reasons, the most important of which is probably the necessity to view the overall demands in the Country, and in particular areas, for smokeless fuels. Whilst there will undoubtedly be some opposition to the setting up of such areas the public health benefits to be derived must surely outweigh the loss of the traditional coal fire in the hearth. I tender my thanks to all officers of the Council and the staff of the Public Health Department in particular, for their assistance and consideration through the year. |
56fd14b0-024c-4bee-ba22-ac9e1d56f17a | INSPECTION OF DISTRICT. General inspections of the district have been carried out periodically and all complaints investigated. The process of serving a preliminary or intimation notice upon the person in (13} default, specifying the works necessary to remedy the defects found, is usually followed. It was found necessary to ask your authority to serve sixty-four Statutory Notices, where persons failed to comply with the preliminary notice, or the strict legal procedure was necessary in the first instance. SANITARY INSPECTION OF AREA. The following is a list of the number and nature of visits and inspections:- Visits re: Housing Acts 706 Visits re: nuisance and sanitary defects 907 Visits re: infectious diseases 232 Visits re: Petroleum Acts 178 Visits re: factories 179 Visits re: outworkers' premises 10 Visits re: food manufactories, cafes, |

Number of Informal Notices 146 Number of Statutory Notices 64 Informal Notices complied with 103 Statutory Notices complied with 66 SANITARY WORK AND REPAIRS. The following is a list of repairs effected as a result of informal and formal notices served. |
78460b74-ace5-4af7-8de8-b7acb0321ff8 | Roofs repaired and made weatherproof 57 Gutters, downspouts repaired or renewed 65 Exterior brickwork repaired or repointed 171 Walls, dampness remedied 99 Chimney stacks and pots repaired or renewed 20 Yard surfaces repaired or repaved 18 (14) Ceilings repaired or renewed 75 Wall plaster repaired or renewed 115 Walls and ceilings cleansed and decorated 159 Floors repaired or renewed 51 Staircases repaired 10 Doors and frames repaired or renewed 49 Windows repaired 158 Food Stores provided or ventilated 17 Fireplaces repaired or renewed 15 Drains and sewage disposal plants cleared 20 Drains and sewage disposal plants repaired or reconstructed 54 Inspection chambers repaired or reconstructed 15 Soil or vent pipes repaired or renewed 13 Gullies, channels and fenders repaired or renewed 9 Water Closet pans, fittings, repaired or renewed 15 Sinks, waste pipes, etc. |

Work continued in connection with the St. Albans Road/Alston Road Clearance Order: by the end of the year twenty-three out of a total of twenty-eight houses had been demolished, private development of the site proceeding at the same time. Twelve Demolition Orders were made during the year, two of the houses concerned being previously the subject of Closing Orders. Five houses were pulled down under Demolition Orders made previously. One Closing Order was sealed, it being inadvisable to pursue demolition yet owing to adjacent premises. One house was made fit for habitation by the owner, following approval by the Council of proposed works and extension of time under a Demolition Older. |
fe89fd9c-822c-4f54-912c-944c05143c7d | Nineteen houses were made fit by the respective owners as a result of formal action, in addition to which the Council carried out repairs to one house in default. In this latter case a Charging Order was made, requiring the tenant to pay his rent to the Council, but the owner later paid the account in full. Minor defects were dealt with by the application of the Public Health Act. In one instance the Council acted in default to provide a new water closet flushing cistern. The introduction of the Rent Act 1957, has not made any great demands upon the services of the Department. Apart from enquiries the following is a brief summary of certificates etc., issued. |
cc3973a5-663e-49a3-9f83-a5a68a1c1787 | (15) Applications for Certificates of Disrepair 8 Landlords' undertaking accepted 5 Landlords' undertaking not accepted 1 Certificates of Disrepair issued 5 Certificates of Disrepair refused 1 Applications for Cancellation of Certificates 2 Certificates of Disrepair cancelled 2 These figures do not necessarily tally, one with the other , owing to a carry over from year to year. PUBLIC HEALTH ACT, 1936. INFECTIOUS DISEASE. INVESTIGATION AND DISINFECTION. Investigations have been carried out of the more important cases of infectious disease listed in the Medical Officer of Health's Report. Where necessary, premises are disinfected and bedding is taken for disinfection to the Barnet General Hospital under arrangements made with the Barnet Group Hospital Management Committee. One hundred and two library books were disinfected before return to librariea, a considerable decrease over the previous year, due to the small number of infectious disease notifications. |
6e40f4f5-9d9b-4dd6-9f4a-6039434cdaaf | FOOD PREMISES IN THE DISTRICT. Number of Bakers 8 " " Butchers 13 " " Cafes, Restaurants, etc. 16 " " Confectioners 24 " " Fishmongers 5 " " Greengrocers 12 " " Grocers 35 " " Lincesed Premises 28 " " Chemists 7 FOOD PREMISES REGISTERED UNDER SECTION 16 OF FOOD AND DRUGS ACT. 1955.

Number of Dairies 2 Any infringements found are rectified or remedied by informal action when pointed out to the trader, and no formal action was needed. |
b7021ea2-b7fc-4c8e-83d1-bae8216e2ae3 | During our visits of inspection every opportunity is taken to discuss (16) food hygiene with staff and management and to show what steps are necessary to comply with the regulations and to improve hygiene generally. Ceilings renewed or repaired 2 Wall plaster renewed or repaired 3 Walls and ceilings cleansed 5 Floors repaired 2 Yards and Gullies cleansed 1 Dustbins renewed 7 Hot water supplies provided 2 Handbasins provided 2 Accumulations removed 1 Fittings and utensils cleansed or renewed 3 Sinks renewed 2 Fixtures non-absorbent 2 SHOPS ACT. 1950. No formal action has been necessary under the provisions of this Act. Informal action has secured the provision of various notices required to be displayed regarding closing hours in "mixed" shops. Several tours of the shops on Sundays found a few mixed shops infringing the law. These were reported to the Council and warnings were given. ICE CREAM. |
6e30ef8e-9ce7-45b2-97af-f8afe6d8f1d9 | All samples of ice-cream are taken to the Central Public Laboratory, Colindale, for testing by the Methylene Blue Test. This is merely indicative and provides no legal standard: the Public Health Laboratory Service suggest that owing to the numerous factors governing the hygienic quality of icerere am it is unwise to pay too much attention to the bacteriological results on any single sample, judgement being based rather on a series of samples. It is suggested as desirable that at least 50^2 should fall into Grade I, 80% into Grades I or II, not more than 20% into Grade III and none into Grade IV. Eighteen samples taken from retailers in the district were all returned as Grade I. There is one company registered for the manufacture of ice-cream, and a policy of concentrating on the control of production rather than retailing has been followed by the department. |
2cae68b2-3454-4007-8bc4-82a88dc188e0 | One hundred and twenty-four samples of ice-cream were taken at various stages in the manufacturing process, with the following results, the percentages being given in parentheses:- (17) Grade I: 94 (75.8%) Grade II: 26 (96.8%) - Grades I and II) Grade III: 2(1.6%) Grade IV: 2 (1.6%) The goal of all samples being at least no lower than Grade II is not one of easy attainment: it must be realised that the large manufacturers are in a position to maintain a constant bacteriological control right through production and throughout the day's working, a facility that is beyond the means of the smaller man. In addition to the above, thirty samples of ice-lollies were dealt with. The Methylene Blue Test is not employed on these: their acid nature renders them self-sterilising and an assessment of the hydrogen ian concentration of a sample indicates its degree of acidity. All were satisfactory. |
0613f66d-2bcb-4249-ba8d-a349440a748f | There are also forty-one premises registered for the storage and sale of ice cream, after allowing for one new registration effected during 1958, and two cancelled; one following closure of the premises and one following change of user. DAIRIES. COWSHEDS AND MILKSHOPS. The control of the production of milk is vested in the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food. The local authority is responsible for the inspection and registration of milk distributors and other dairy premises not directly concerned with the actual production of milk, and for licensing for the sale of Designated Milks. |
8fd9eb5f-e0ed-44eb-9520-c4ca167a8243 | Twenty-four samples of milk have been taken, in course of delivery to the consumer, and submitted to the appropriate tests with the following results:- Designation Samples Taken Satisfactory Unsatisfactory Tuberculin Tested (Pasteurised) 8 8 Nil Pasteurised 11 11 Nil Pasteurised (Homogenised) 1 1 Nil Pasteurised (Channel Islands) 3 3 Nil Sterilised 1 1 Nil Totals 24 24 Nil (18) No official action was taken under Regulation 20 of the Milk and Dairies Regulations 1949, to stop or restrict the sale of milk. No cases of disease were notified which could be attributed to the consumption of infected milk. |
01aecabe-f4ac-4df1-9aab-5e12150b2957 | Ten Dealer's Licences and twenty-one Supplementary Licences were granted for the retail sale of milk under the Milk (Special Designation)(Raw Milk) Regulations, 194-9 and 1950, and the Milk (Special Designation) (Pasteurised and Sterilised Milk) Regulations, 1949 and 1950, viz:- Designation Dealer's Licences. Supplementary Licences. Tuberculin Tested 3 7 Pasteurised 3 7 Sterilised 4 7 FOOD AND DRUGS ACT. 1955. The Council acquired these powers under the Act concerning the adulteration and sophistication of food as from 1st October 1955. The summary overleaf contains the results of eighty-three samples taken by this department. All unsatisfactory samples are reported to the Council and the following are brief comments on them. Cream. |
e28d0c96-63ce-4423-ac8e-a78bc8f83129 | A bottle of cream, brought to the office by a resident, with an adhering stain on the inside of the bottle. Analysis showed this to be essentially dried milk solids, suggesting insufficient cleansing of the bottle. A letter was sent to the milk retailer requesting better inspection. Cream Doughnuts and Cream Alices. These were purchased from a shop in the district, where they were labelled as above, but upon analysis were found not to contain cream but imitation cream. Although a notice was displayed elsewhere in the shop to the effect that no article sold contained cream the label was misleading. A letter was sent to the retailer and the labelling was immediately withdrawn. (Continued on page 20) (19) Article No. Examined No. Adulterated Etc.

The Council decided to take no action. Milk. Foreign matter adhering to the inside of the bottle consisted of mould growths, suggesting again, insufficient cleansing of the bottle. |
5735ca64-d626-4cc3-bc6e-624ac11c8b22 | This was supplied by a different retailer from the cream mentioned on page 18. A warning letter was sent to the firm concerned. Chicken Noodle Soup and Clear Chicken Soup Mix. Your Analyst reported that although there is no official standard for meat content in such products in his opinion there is insufficient protein in these to justify the descriptions given. It was understood that consultations were in progress between the various bodies interested to come to some agreement on minimum quantities and in view of this the Council decided on no action at the present time. Steaklets. As with earlier articles, the composition of this product was in substantial accord with the declaration of ingredients but your Analyst felt that the nomenclature might be misleading. After corresponding with the Manufacturer and having regard to the other descriptive matter on the packaging, no further action was taken. A resident brought to the office an opened bottle of Yoghurt to which had been added brown sugar. Complaint was made of a fibre resembling hair in the mixture. |
71bf0786-a2a6-4516-be0b-cf056936cfb6 | Your Analyst confirmed that the fibre was of the nature of hemp. No further action was taken as there was insufficient evidence to show how the fibre got into the Yoghurt. (21) MERCHANDISE MARKS ACT. 1926, The Council became the authority for enforcing the provisions of these Acts and Orders made thereunder when they were designated a Pood and Drugs Authority. No contraventions were noted. MEAT AND FOOD CONDEMNED. The following is a list of the articles of food condemned as unfit for human consumption during the year. Meat. Fresh Meat. Canned Meat. One Turkey (Irish) 8 lbs. Corned Beef 10 lbs. Luncheon Meat 2 lbs. Breasts of Lamb (English) 21+ lbs. Steak 4 lbs. Braised Kidneys 6 ozs. Fish. Fresh Fish. Canned Fish. |

Maraialade 9 tins and jars. Milk 8 tins. Paste 3 tins. Soup 1 tin. Sweet Corn 1 tin. Condemned food is taken to the disposal point on the Sewage Farm, where tins are thoroughly perforated and loose food is stained and mixed with household refuse before onward transmission to the controlled tip outside the district. PRIVATE SLAUGHTERHOUSES AND SLAUGHTER OF ANIMALS ACT, 1933. There is only one slaughterhouse, privately owned, operating in the district and your inspectors maintain a high percentage of inspection by evening and week-end visits. |
121e14e5-d113-4ce8-81c3-3f154535ca6b | Slaughtering is carried on six days per week, the sole exception being Friday, and the general system with regard to the timing of slaughtering is that adult Bovines are slaughtered early in the day's work, proceeding to the "smalls" and in this latter category, calves are usually left until last. (22) This accounts for the 100% inspection of Cattle and Cows, shown in the following table, and the lower percentage of inspection for Calves. However, good co-operation exists between your inspectors and the owner and his slaughtermen who retain for our inspection on the following day any carcase presenting signs of disease or injury. The majority of the condemned meat and offals is taken away by a reputable firm for manufacture into useful by-products, e.g. fertilisers etc. Total weight of carcase meat condemned 4,388 lbs. Total weight of offals condemned 7,649 lbs. |

Here the decrease has been from 18.82% last year to 8.28% this year in spite of an increase of over 20% in the number of animals killed. No doubt this is one of the beneficial effects, now being felt, (23) of the Government's eradication scheme, which is steadily progressing. In fact, the time cannot "be far off when all cattle herds in the Country will be up to Attested standard. |
b497033e-85c0-48b5-8ca4-ad5072433ac4 | In June the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Pood, determined the arrangement whereby the Inspectors issued Certificates for subsidy payments on deadweight pigs, the work then being taken over by the Ministry1 s own officers. Up to June 15th, 705 animals had been dealt with, 101 certificates being issued. The Council received 6d per pig for this service, with a minimum of 3/0d per certificate. There were twelve persons licensed by the Council as fit persons to slaughter animals, most of them work part or full time as slaughtermen at the local slaughterhouse. No complaint has been received from other districts concerning the conduct of any of these men, nor was there any need for adverse report on the men locally employed. DRAINAGE. Twelve cesspools and septic tanks were abolished during the year, ten of the properties concerned being connected to the extended sewer in the Barnet Lane area. |
6e183deb-d4d5-43ea-a475-3883b7f3ab83 | Progress is being made in securing that the remaining houses will also connect to this sewer. A pair of cottages on Totteridge Green were put over to main drainage, the Council bearing the additional expense of exceeding the statutory distance limit. The construction of two new sewage disposal plants was approved and supervised by the department, one being for a new house and the other for a group of three farm cottages, the subject of an Improvement Grant.

The test bait in May resulted in twelve complete "takes" and no partial "takes" of bait out of ninety-three manholes baited. (27) In the maintenance treatment carried out later in May, seventy-three manholes were baited resulting in twenty-three "takes" and in October, fifty-one were baited with thirteen "takes". Rats were found to be breaking out of the house drainage systems in three instances. The defective drains were repaired, and this will prevent a recurrence of infestation, from these sources, in the appropriate sewers. |
f38fcbd0-2e69-4e4d-8b46-9a89351e5bf9 | No charge is made for the use of the Rodent Operator's services in treating private domestic premises, provided that the occupiers co-operate in carrying out their duties under the Act. The cost of treatments at all other premises is recoverable. OTHER INFESTATIONS. There was an increase in the requests for assistance and advice on dealing with infestations, amounting to one hundred and fifteen enquiries. The infestations cover a wide variety of insects and other pests, e.g. wasps, beetles, ants, cockroaches, fleas, flies, bees, lice, foxes, squirrels and moles. We are assisted in the identification of some of these insects by the British Museum (Natural History Section) the staff of which give prompt answers to our queries. Small quantities of insecticides are distributed and in some cases the power sprayer is loaned to assist. HEATING- APPLIANCES (FIREGUARDS) ACT. 1952. |

One licence for the storage of petroleum spirit in an underground tank was discontinued during the year, the licences in question having changed his vehicles to diesel-burning: thirty-three premises remained on the Register. In one instance the provision of an additional tank required the increase of a licence "by 2,000 gallons, and one licence was reduced by 1 ,000 gallons, two tanks being out of service and made safe. |
e1d3d249-2594-4203-bccc-0123cedd7854 | At the end of the year the total quantity for which licences were on issue, in respect of petroleum spirit and petroleum mixtures, stood at 41,885 gallons. The process of testing the older installations, in line with the requirements of the Licence Conditions, has continued, any small defects being remedied at the time.

Thus, if an attempt is made to compare this area with other districts, or with previous years, it would be better to compare actual cases.

The major portion of the district is supplied with water from the mains of the Barnet District Water Company, the remainder, consisting of the western extremities, being served by the Colne Valley Water Company. All water supplied to the district is chlorinated, both Companys employing trained laboratory staff who take regular samples of water for examination at all stages of its treatment. During the year, the Barnet District Water Company's staff examined a total of 1 ,949 samples,of which 1,694 were bacteriological and 255 chemical. |
dee41102-e7c2-4ee4-93c3-d4988c1bcf9f | Of the bacteriological samples, 1 ,352 were representative of supply, and every one was found to be free from Type I B. Coli in 100 ml. quantities. This figure of 100/2 purity has been equalled only on one previous occasion, in 1957. The Company submitted 99 samples for investigation, both chemical and bacteriological, by an independent laboratory. Every treated water sample so examined proved likewise to be free from Type I B. Coli. It is to be noted that rainfall for the year was well below average. At the North Minims Pumping Station a fall of 21.86" was recorded, this quantity being only 69.9% of that recorded at North Mimms for the previous year, and 14.9% below the average, for a twenty-two year period, of 25.66". It was not, however, found necessary to impose any restrictions on the use of water. |
2dece6f3-8c2e-447b-a241-37c841b2d752 | (6) The supply to the whole district is considered adequate. One cottage only is known not to "be connected to mains water supply, and action to secure its demolition was in train at the end of the year. DRAINAGE AND SEWERAGE. The town is drained and sewered on the separate system, excepting the older portions of the district where it is a combined system. The sewage is conveyed to a Sewage Disposal works of 56 acres, where it is screened, grit removed in detritus tanks, thence to primary settlement tanks and thereafter distributed over three 80 ft. diameter "bacteria filters, followed by humus removal in rectangular tanks before discharge to the Dollis Brook. Pumping is necessary for three sewers which have their outlets at a low point on the works. |
7d0c0435-865e-4f2a-85fe-546dc34fe579 | Part of the Totteridge area drains to the Finchley Borough sewers; in the outlying areas some properties are on cesspool drainage or domestic sewage disposal plants, and a few only have pail closets. With respect to the Barnet works, these have been overloaded for some years owing to the growth of the town, and will become redundant when the proposed East Middlesex trunk sewage scheme is brought to fruition. Complaints of smell from the farm have increased during recent years, as a consequence of which a trial was made of equipment designed to spray a deodorising fluid. This is barely out of the experimental stage, but results were promising and the Middlesex County Council have approved the installation of the system for use next year as may be necessary. SANITARY CONDITIONS AND WATER SUPPLY OF SCHOOLS. There are in the district fourteen schools administered by the South Herts Divisional Education Committee, viz:- Queen Elizabeth's Boys' Grammar School, Queens Road, Barnet. |

I am, Yours faithfully, ARTHUR L. HYATT, M.R.C.S.(Eng.), L.R.C.P. MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH, (12) BARNET URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. CHIEF PUBLIC HEALTH INSPECTOR'S REPORT. Public Health Department, 31 Wood Street, Barnet. To the Chairman and Members of the Barnet Urban District Council. I have the honour to present my Annual Report for the year 1959. In 1958 the Council in conjunction with our neighbouring authority, Elstree Rural District Council, took preliminary steps to establish its first Smoke Control Area, on the L.C.C. Estate on the west side of the Barnet Bye Pass. |
c8b41409-ae42-4c71-a3c0-3afa22c448e5 | The Minister's final approval was given in December 1959 and the Order will come into operation on 1st September, 1960. The Council also agreed to bring the 7,hole district under smoke control during the course of the next twenty years, i.e. by starting a new area each year of approximately 400 to 500 houses. The preliminary steps were taken to establish a second smoke control area involving 22 privately owned houses, 446 Council houses and 10 other premises, around and including the Council's Stanhope Estate. Details were submitted to the Minister for preliminary approval just before the close of the year. A considerable amount of office work is involved in creating these areas and in the initial stages many problems are encountered. As we get experience in the work I have no doubt that we shall gain more time for our many other duties which have suffered to some extent. |
c13658ed-c29d-41f0-afd1-8d0c40297496 | My thanks are due to the staff of the Public Health Department for their support and enthusiasm in the increased work, and to all the officers of the Council for their co-operation throughout the year. INSPECTION OF DISTRICT. General inspections of the district have been carried out periodically and all complaints investigated. The process of serving a preliminary or intimation notice upon the person in default, specifying the works necessary to remedy the defects found, is usually (13) followed. It was found necessary to ask your authority to serve thirtysix Statutory Notices, where persons failed to comply with the preliminary notice, or the strict legal procedure was necessary in the first instance. SANITARY INSPECTION OF AREA. |
041c2aa6-c7a1-4cc3-ac91-510178a59d90 | The following is a list of the number and nature of visits and inspections:- Visits re: Housing Acts 542 Visits re: nuisance and sanitary defects 890 Visits re: infectious diseases 218 Visits re: Petroleum Acts 146 Visits re: factories 99 Visits re: outworkers' premises 8 Visits re: food manufactories, cafes, etc 306 Visits re: ice cream and sampling 191 Visits re: overcrowding 2 Visits re: aged and infirm persons 41 Visits to inspect meat and other foods 628 Visits re: schools 32 Visits re: pollution of watercourses 25 Visits re: Rent Acts 70 Visits re: Clean Air Act. |

The final five houses included in the St. Albans Road/Alston Road Clearance Area were razed, the year seeing the completion of private development of the site by the erection of maisonettes. Two cottages owned by the Council were certified as being unfit for habitation and the tenants were rehoused: negotiations were commenced with the Middlesex County Council for the cottages to be used in connection with training for the Rescue Section of Civil Defence. Five houses were demolished by the respective owners following the rehousing of occupiers; work was also commenced on a terrace of seven properties following Orders made in the previous year. Demolition Orders made during the year totalled twelve in number, and although five tenants were rehoused before the close of the year no demolitions were effected. |
f225354e-fae6-4e79-984e-d01db4411755 | These will wait until the remaining tenants in each block of houses are rehoused. Demolition Orders were revoked in respect of two houses following completion of works. The number of applications for Certificates of Disrepair under the Rent Act 1957, remains the same as last year and, even including enquiries, has not caused much demand on our services. There follows a brief summary of the certificates etc. |
baa02303-1d16-4eb1-b9e9-51aad7a452dc | , issued or refused:- Applications for Certificates of Disrepair 8 Landlords' undertakings accepted 3 Certificates of Disrepair issued 5 Applications for Cancellation of Certificates 7 Certificates of Disrepair cancelled 3 Certificates of Disrepair not cancelled, as tenants' objection sustained by Council 4 (15) No cases of overcrowding,as defined by the Act, have come to light and in this connection it is interesting to note that the rate of occupancy of houses which was steadily falling just prior to World War II, when the rate in 1939 was 3.27 persons per house, then rose during and immediately after the war to a peak in 1948 of 3.64. Since that year there has been a regular decline and the rate now stands at 3.16 persons per house, i.e. less than pre-war, and this in spite of a growing population in the district, now almost 4,400 more than for 1939. |

Investigations have been carried out of the more important cases of infectious disease listed in the Medical Officer of Health's Report. Where necessary, premises are disinfected and "bedding is taken for disinfection to the Barnet General Hospital under arrangements made with the Barnet Group Hospital Management Committee. Two hundred and sixty-three library books were disinfected before return to libraries, a considerable increase over the previous year, due to the measles epidemic. FOOD PREMISES IN THE DISTRICT. |

This raised problems pertaining to the facilities to be provided for stallholders, viz: sanitary accommodation, water supply, drainage, lighting, etc. Certain temporary measures were taken by the owners at the request of the Department: at the close of the year negotiations were proceeding towards making provisions of a more permanent nature. The food stalls have been the subject of close surveillance with a view to securing the individual stall-holders' compliance with matters relating to Pood Hygiene falling within their immediate province as distinct from the responsibilities of the market owner. |

No formal action has been necessary under the provisions of this Act and informal action has secured the provision of various notices required to be displayed regarding closing hours in "mixed" shops: in one instance additional sanitary and washing accommodation was required in order to provide for separation of the sexes. Building plans deposited with the Surveyor's Department for Byelaw approval in There is one company registered for the manufacture of ice-cream and the following table gives the results of samples taken from the factory. |
a5efd426-3324-4038-abd5-9add3e50a09e | Grade 114 (78.6%) Grade II 19 (91.7% - Grades I and II) Grade III 11 ( 7.6%) Grade IV 1 ( 0.7%) Comparing with last year's results, it is found that this year, there is a small increase of the percentage in Grade I hut with a lower percentage in Grades I and II; this is due to an increase in those of Grade III. Overall the results are not quite so good as last year's figures, hut with the exception of one sample in Grade IV the results are well within the standard mentioned earlier in this part of the report. There are also forty-three premises registered for the storage and sale of ice cream, adding two new registrations during the year. DAIRIES, COWSHEDS AND MILKSHOPS. The control of the production of milk is vested in the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food. |
c8064194-7176-49e4-a92c-68f9ec67e953 | The local authority is responsible for the inspection and registration of milk distributors and other dairy premises not directly concerned with the (17) connection with shop premises are referred to this Department for consideration under the provisions of the Shops Act. ICE CREAM. All samples of ice-cream are taken to the Central Public Health Laboratory Colindale, for testing by the Methylene Blue Test. This is merely indicative and provides no legal standard: the Public Health Laboratory Service suggest that owing to the numerous factors governing the hygienic quality of ice-cream it is unwise to pay too much attention to the bacteriological results on any single sample, judgement being based rather on a series of samples. It is suggested as desirable that at least 50% should fall into Grade I, 80% into Grades I or II, not more than 20% into Grade III and none into Grade IV. Seven samples taken from retailers in the district were all returned as Grade I. |
b3e71822-4f6c-454d-99b0-e6c8698b513f | (18) actual production of milk, and for licensing for the sale of Designated Milks. Eighteen samples of milk have been taken, in course of delivery to the consumer, and submitted to the appropriate tests with the following results:- Designation Samples Taken Satisfactory Unsatisfactory Tuberculin Tested (Pasteurised) 2 2 Nil Pasteurised 11 10 1 Pasteurised (Homogenised) 2 2 Nil Pasteurised (Channel Islands) 2 2 Nil Sterilised 1 1 Nil Totals 18 17 1 Regarding the one unsatisfactory sample, this satisfied the Phosphatase Test, indicating that it has been properly processed, "but failed the Methylene Blue Test. This would emply undue bacterial activity. The matter was taken up with the Dairy Company concerned, who offered as explanation that, by some mischance, the milk had been of a previous day's delivery which should not have been re-issued to the roundsman. |
eaa02e78-a48a-4051-8df1-a0676bd41f4f | Further check samples were satisfactory. No official action was taken under Regulation 20 of the Milk and Dairies General Regulations 1959, to stop or restrict the sale of milk. No cases of disease were notified which could be attributed to the consumption of infected milk. Eleven Dealer's Licences and twenty-one Supplementary Licences were granted for the retail sale of milk under the Milk (Special Designation) (Raw Milk) Regulations, 1949 and 1950, and the Milk (Special Designation) (Pasteurised and Sterilised Milk) Regulations, 194-9 and 1950, viz:- I Designation Dealer's Licences.

The Council acquired these powers under the Act concerning the adulteration and sophistication of food as from 1st October 1955. |
46fba39e-1cdc-46d0-bd7c-ba2f35d41e5e | The summary on the next page contains the results of seventy¬eight samples taken by this Department. All unsatisfactory samples are reported to the Council and the following ere brief comments on them. Ammoniated Tincture of Quinine. This item has a seasonal sale and when purchased in August had deteriated during storage. On drawing the retailer's attention to the deficiency in ammonia, he withdrew the remaining stock from sale. The contents of a tin of this product were found by your Public Analyst to be liquified and unfit for human consumption. On attempting to get further samples the retailer was only able to supply two tins, the last of his stock. One of these was in good condition and one unfit for human consumption. Peeled Prawns. This was an attractive transparent plastic pack, from a deep freeze cabinet, which appeared to be in good condition. Your Analyst found upon opening the pack that the contents were unsound. |
31dc77e9-f476-4c3e-90cc-ce2b9f80038b | The retailer, from whom the sample was purchased, when revisited had no further stock. Similar packs were purchased from other retailers and sent to the Public Health Laboratory Service at Colindale who reported favourably on the bacterial state of the contents. Sweets. A resident brought to the office three packets of a chocolate coated nut confection among the contents of which were insect webbing and eggs. These were sent to your Analyst for identification and report. The Council authorised the institution of proceedings which will be heard early in the new year. (20) A complainant produced an opened tin of ham and chicken roll and embedded in the meat was a fly of the blue bottle type. The Council authorised proceedings to be taken which resulted in a fine of £5-0-0d "being imposed. Similarly, a complainant brought to the office an almost empty bottle of cream on the bottom of which was a lump of glass resembling part of a bottle. |

PRIVATE SLAUGHTERHOUSES . AND SLAUGHTER OF ANIMALS ACT. 1958. |
3ede7f25-6c24-4077-bfc3-e7fbe1cebd65 | There is only one slaughterhouse, privately owned, operating in the district and your inspectors maintain a high percentage of inspection "by evening and week¬end visits. Slaughtering is carried on six days per week, the exception being Friday, and the general system with regard to the timing of slaughtering is that adult Bovines are slaughtered early in the day's work, proceeding to the "smalls" and in this latter category, calves are usually left until last. This accounts for the 100% inspection of Cattle and Cows, shown in the (22) following table, and the lower percentage of inspection for Calves. However, good co-operation exists between your inspectors and the owner and his slaughtermen who retain for our inspection on the following day any carcase presenting signs of disease or injury. The majority of the condemned meat and offals is taken away by a reputable firm for manufacture into useful by-products, e.g. fertilisers etc. |
5c36d4b3-7b1c-417f-98b8-e837890e4f31 | Total weight of carcase meat condemned:- Bovine 2,872 lbs. Ovine 90 lbs. Porcine 302 lbs. 3,264 lbs. Total weight of offals condemned 6,435 lbs.

(23) This improvement in the disease rate in "both types of animals is a direct result of the Government's eradication scheme, which now covers the area from which the slaughterhouse draws its stock. There were eleven persons licensed by the Council as fit persons to slaughter animals, most of them work part or full time as slaughtermen at the local slaughterhouse. |
