The Middlesex County Council is the Authority for this Borough under the
Act, which places the responsibility upon tho occupier of the promises infested,
but the Rat Destruction Officer of the County Council is always willing to give
advice. The Inspectors of the Public Health Department often examine the
drainage of premises where it might be possible that the infestation is due to
a defect in the house drainage system.

DISINFECTION AND DISINFESTATION
The Council's Disinfocting Station was completely destroyed during
October of this year, and from that time onwards the work has been carried

received from the Enfield Council in this matter.
