Report of the Chief Sanitary
Inspector
For the year 1938.
Public Offices,
Enfield.
4th May, 1939.
To the Chairman and Members of the
Urban District Council of Enfield.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
In submitting my Annual Report for the year ended 31st
December, 1938, there are certain matters to which I would direct
your attention.
Food premises, milk-shops, bake-houses, coffee shops and
eating houses are not receiving the amount of supervision that
is desirable. This indicates the necessity for the appointment
of an additional Sanitary Inspector, and I am hoping that the
matter will be remedied when such an appointment is made in
1939.
The number of Council houses vacated during the year was
smaller than in previous years. I have pleasure in stating that
the number of verminous houses was again much lower.
The purchase of three new vehicles accounts, to some extent,
for the increased cost of refuse collection, for the dustman's weekly
call accounts for less than 4d. per week per house.
In common with other districts in the country other type of
work has arisen during the year and more than fully occupied the
time of the various members of the Staff.
