Report of the Sanitary Inspector,
PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
To the Chairman and Members of the Barking Town
Urban District Council.
Gentlemen,
I beg to submit to you my Annual Report dealing with
the Sanitary work carried out during the year 1905.
Inspections.
The total number of Inspections made during the year was
1,870, these include house to house inspections, houses in which
Infectious Disease occurred, houses which have been subject of complaint,
workshops, etc., and miscellaneous inspections.
In no less than 1,157 of the houses inspected, Sanitary defects
were discovered, necessitating the service of notice, and which are
included in the following figures:—
For abatement of various nuisances, 654 preliminary and 115
statutory notices were served, but in no case was legal proceedings
necessary; in a large number of instances defects were remedied
(without serving any notices) after personal interview with the
owners concerned.
