THE WORK OF THE SANITARY INSPECTORS IN 1952
I append a report to the Medical Officer of Health by the Chief
Sanitary Inspector giving details of the work of the Sanitary
Inspectors during the year ;

Legal Proceedings.
Public Health Act 1936, Section 93.
Non-compliance with Statutory Notices.
In 11 cases legal proceedings were taken to enforce compliance
with Notices requiring the abatement of nuisances. In 8 of
these cases Orders were made by the Magistrates for the necessary
work to be carried out within a stated period and costs amounting
to £12 12s. Od. were awarded. In three cases the summonses were
adjourned and later withdrawn as the work was largely completed
before the hearings. Summonses were issued in a further eight cases
but these were withdrawn as the work was completed before the
hearings.
A further 23 cases were taken against the owners of caravans.
In 3 cases Orders were made by the Magistrates for the abatement
of nuisances and costs were awarded in 2 cases. In 19 cases fines
amounting to £30 1s. 0d. were imposed on the occupants of the
caravans for non-compliance with Court Orders. The remaining
case was adjourned.
Public Health Act, 1936, Section 75.
The owners of two properties upon whom Notices were served
to provide dustbins appealed against these Notices to the Ealing
Magistrates Court. In both cases the appeals were disallowed by
the Magistrates.
