FRI 9
TO THE
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
OF THE
Friern Barnet Urban District Council.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to present to you my Report for the
year 1911, to which is attached the Report of Mr. Albert
Harman, which again shows a good record of sanitary work
done by him during the year.
I have pleasure in expressing to the Members of the
Council my appreciation of their unfailing courtesy and
assistance during the past year.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
Frank A. Spreat.
For the convenience of the Local Government Board
and those not well acquainted with the District, I repeat
the following short description.
The District of Friern Burnet is situated in the Loudon
area, and is bounded on the North by East Barnet, on the
East by Southgate, on the South by Hornsey, and on the
West by Finchley.
It comprises 1,304 acres (including 152 acres occupied
by the buildings and grounds of the Colney Hatch Asylum),
most of which is undulating ground, varyiug from 150 to
800 feet above the sea level, the geological formation being
Loudon clay, with here and there patches of gravel.
