Vaccination.
The Guardians of the Barnet Union discharge the duties of the
Vaccination Acts throughout the district.
An Account of Sanitary State of District at the
End of the Year.
During the year 274 inspections have been made by me, either in
company with a Sanitary Inspector or alone.
As a result of these inspections, 12 certificates in accordance with
Housing of Working Classes Act have been written by me testifying
that 12 houses were unfit for human habitation, notices were served on
the owners and houses repaired.
Inspection of Laundries.
Five Laundries have been inspected twice in the year, they are in a
fair sanitary condition.
Schools.
The National Schools within the District have been inspected four
times, they are in a very good sanitary condition, with the exception of
that used as a temporary Infants' School in Ely Place, this building
answers the purpose of a temporary building, but should not be used for
any length of time. In part of the year Measles was prevalent in the
South Ward and the Managers closed the school for a period of three
weeks; in the North Ward, owing to the prevalence of this illness, the
schools in this Ward were not re-opened for a week after the Summer
Vacation.
Slaughter Houses.
Two Slaughter Houses were inspected twice in the year, they were in
a fairly sanitary condition, in one the owner's attention was drawn to the
bye-laws requiring a proper covered receptable for removal of offal.
Bake-houses.
These were inspected four times during the year at the suggestion of
your Authority. At my request, your Authority had printed some notices
calling attention of owners to the various requirements of the Factories'
Act, and the special sections relating to Bake-houses. A notice was sent
to the Factory Inspector calling attention to the employment of a child
in a bake-house.
