SANITARY INSPECTORS ANNUAL REPORT
for Year 1914.
TO THE
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
OF THE
Friern Barnet Urban District Council.
Gentlemen,
I beg to submit my Report for the year ending
December 31st, 1914, including a summary of the work
-carried out, for the suppression of nuisances, the work
in connection with the checking of the spread of infectious
diseases, and the general administration of the
Public Health and other Acts, so far as they relate to
the office of Inspector of Nuisances.
Complaints.
These numbered 76 against 71 for 1913, an increase
of 5, considering that the population of the district has
increased from 16,798 to 18,093 this is satisfactory.
Nuisances.
198 intimation notices were served, dealing with
624 nuisances; a classification of which will be found at
the end of this report.
As I have mentioned in previous reports, the
nuisances arising from structural defects tend to decrease
every year, as the older property in the district is constantly
under inspection, and the owners have recognised
that it pays them to keep the houses reasonably
fit for occupation.
