During the year the Council, in two instances, approved the
establishment of the trade of a Fish-frier, the premises in each
case being equipped with up-to-date appliances, which have proved
most satisfactory, and show that the trade can be carried on in
populous districts without being a nuisance to the neighbourhood.
Schools.
There are 22 Public Elementary Schools in Enfield, including
a Deaf Centre, 52 departments in all.
The Secondary Schools include the Boys' Grammar School
and the County School for Girls. In addition there are a number
of private establishments.
We have also the Chase Farm Schools belonging to the Edmonton
Board of Guardians, and a Roman Catholic Institution
known as St. Joseph's Home for Destitute Boys.
Periodical examinations of the conditions of the public elementary
schools are made by the Sanitary Inspector, and any
defects found are brought to the notice of the Education Committee
and Managers, with the result that they are usually remedied
without delay.
FOOD.
Milk.
There are some 426 cows in Enfield owned by 23 cowkeepers,
and I am pleased to be able to make a favourable report this year
of the way which the dairy business is conducted. The majority
of the retail milk sellers are continuing their endeavours to maintain
a satisfactory condition in their business, while a few who do
not yet seem to realise the importance of strict attention to detail
and cleanliness, are being brought into line with the others.
The cows are inspected bi-annually by Mr. H. H. Hide,
M.R.C.V.S., the Veterinary Surgeon to the Council, and I append
copies of his two reports for the year, which are very satisfactory,
and shew that the Enfield dairy-farmer is fully alive to the danger
of keeping tuberculous cows on his premises.
