report
of the
sanitary inspector
For the Year 1911.
To the Chairman and Members of the Finchley
Urban District Council.
Gentlemen,—
I have the honour to submit for your consideration my
Tenth Annual Report dealing with the work carried out in
connection with the sanitary inspection of the district during
the year ending 31st December, 1911.
The total number of inspections made during the year
was 7,767, as compared with 7,064 in 1910. On 1,001 of the
premises visited, nuisances to the number of 2,449 were discovered,
and in dealing with the sanitary defects from which
they arose 198 "Intimation" and 68 ''Statutory'' Notices were
served. The numbers of letters written and received with
reference to the business of the department was respectively
987 and 845. At the end of the year 2,160 of the nuisances
discovered had been abated, the work of remedying 127 was
in hand, and the remaining 162 were outstanding. In order
to ascertain that the sanitary defects were being properly
remedied 1,293 visits were paid to the respective premises
while the work was in progress.
