SASNITTARY INSPECTOR
For the Year 1907.
To the Chairman and Members of the Finchley Urban
District Council.
Gentlemen,
I beg to submit to you my sixth Annual Report in which
is recorded particulars of the work done in connection with the
sanitary inspection of the district during the year 1907.
The total number of inspections made in reference to the
business of the department was 6,665, this number being
higher than that recorded in any previous year. On 790 of the
premises visited, nuisances to the number of 1,665 were
discovered, and, in dealing with the sanitary defects from
which they arose, 180 "Intimation" and 286 "Statutory"
notices were served. The number of letters written and
received were 1051 and 1187 respectively. At the end of the
year 1420 of the nuisances had been abated, the work of
remedying 129 was in hand, and the remaining 116 were
outstanding. In order to ascertain that the sanitary defects
above referred to were being properly remedied, 1,726 visits
were paid to the respective premises while the necessary work
was in progress.
