Pig Keeping.
This industry has been under considerable observation.
Offensive Trades.
There are not any.
Dust Disposal and Removal.
This is undertaken by the Engineer and Surveyor's
Department. The collection is made weekly, and the dust
removed in covered vans. Notices are served as required
to provide portable sanitary dust-bins in place of worn-out
or unsanitary bins.
The refuse is chiefly taken to the Sewage Works
and deposited on the ground. The provision of an up-todate
Dust Destructor is before the Council, and the
Committee have the matter under consideration.
Ambulance.
The District does not yet possess an Ambulance;
arrangements have been made with the Finchley District
Council for the hire of their conveyance.
Mortuary.
The Finchley District Council have an excellent
Mortuary a short distance from Friern Barnet's West
boundary, and arrangements have been made for its use.
Coroner's Inquests.
The large room on the West side of the Council
Offices has been fitted up for Coroner's Inquests, and
during the year a number of Finchley and Friern Barnet
Inquests have been held here.
The Council Offices being near the Finchley
Mortuary, this room has been found convenient for holding
Finchley Inquests. Formerly the Inquests were held
at public-houses.
