Burial of Destitute Dead.
During the year arrangements have been made for the burial of 11 persons in accordance with section
50 of the National Assistance Act, 1948.

Licensing of Hawkers.
In December, 1950, the Council fixed April 1st, 1951, as the date when hawkers of food and premises
used by them for storage accommodation become liable for registration under section 11 of the Middlesex
County Council Act 1950.
Common Lodging Houses.
In December, 1950, the keeper of the common lodging house at 1 and 2 Malvern Gardens stated that
he could not carry out works required under the Public Health Act and the bye-laws to render the premises
fit.
The licence was, therefore, renewed for a period of six months only; the future use of the premises is
still under consideration.
Slaughterhouse Licences.
During the year two applications for the renewal of slaughterhouse licences were received, and one was
granted. In the other case the premises needed repairs before a licence could be issued. The owners were
willing to carry out the repairs, but the Council were not satisfied that the site of the premises was suitable
for a slaughterhouse.
Visit of Health Inspectors From Irish Republic.
During the year, the Ministry of Food arranged for three health inspectors from the Irish Republic
to pay a short visit to local authorities in England to study the enforcement of food hygiene and the supervision
of food premises. Arrangements were made for one of the inspectors to visit Willesden, and he saw
the work of food hygiene and the supervision of food premises.
The Minister of Food expressed his thanks to the authority at the end of the visit.
