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 65
Number granted permission to sub-let 59
Number refused permission 6
Number of letters sent 224
Number of visits made by Sanitary Inspectors 29
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.
SCHOOLS.
There are 21 Public Elementary Schools in Enfield, comprising
43 departments.
The Secondary Schools include the Boys' Grammar School,
the County School for Girls and the Junior Technical School. In
addition there are a number of private establishments.
There is also 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 Inspectors, and any defects
found are brought to the notice of the Education Committee and
Managers.
INFECTIOUS DISEASES AND SCHOOLS.
Following a suggestion of the Ministry of Health, an arrangement
is in force between the Council and Education Committee
under which the Head Teachers of the various schools notify the
Medical Officer of Health of all absentees suspected to be suffering
from any infectious disease.
These absentees are then visited, and the cause of absence
ascertained.
