SMOKE ABATEMENT.
During the course of the year observation has been kept on the
chimneys of the District for nuisance due to the issue of excess
amount of smoke.
Many warning letters have been sent, and in all cases these
have resulted in the abatement of the nuisance.
SWIMMING BATHS AND POOLS.
The Enfield Swimming Pool is situated in Southbury Road,
Enfield.
It is an open air Bath which measures 200 feet by 80 feet. The
water is purified by means of two filtration plants and aerated by
an external fountain and an internal aerator.
The water is chlorinated and the plant is capable of passing all
the water in the Pool through the filter in the course of four hours.
Samples of the water were taken and tested repeatedly throughout
the Season and were found to be satisfactory.
The Enfield Lock Baths are situated in Bradley Road, Enfield
Lock, and are indoor Baths.
There is no filtration plant, but the water is changed at least
once a week, and during hot weather twice a week, whilst Chlorine
is sprayed into the water in the form of Voxsan.
Repeated tests were taken of the water throughout the Season,
and were found to be satisfactory.
SUB-LETTING IN COUNCIL HOUSES.
The terms of the agreement under which the Council's houses
are let does not allow the tenant to sub-let without obtaining
permission.
During the year I have continued to consider and determine
the cases in which sub-letting was to be allowed in Council houses,
in accordance with the Resolution passed by the Council on
December 13th, 1927.
The following work was carried out:—
Total number of applications dealt with 77
Number granted permission to sub-let 67
Number refused permission 10
Number of letters sent 331
Number of visits made by Sanitary Inspectors 28
In every case permission to sub-let has been given where such
permission can be granted without detriment to the health of the
tenants or the property of the Council.
