TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE
FINCHLEY DISTRICT COUNCIL.
Gentlemen,—
In presenting my report for the past year I would
specially draw your attention to the need for additional
isolation hospital accommodation to meet the requirements of
a population that has increased from 24,000 to over 36,000
since the present arrangements in regard to isolation were
made in 1903.
Other matters that have become urgent owing to the
growth of the District are the preservation of open spaces and
the adoption of some better method for dealing with house
refuse.
The work of the Public Health Department has been very
heavy at times, and before long additional help will probably
be required.
It is with much pleasure I record the thoroughly efficient
manner in which your Sanitary Inspector, Mr. Franklin, has
carried out his duties, and also the satisfactory work of the
Assistant Inspector, Mr. Robinson.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your Obedient Servant,
GERARD C. TAYLOR,
Council Offices,
Finchley.
25th March, 1908.
