(d) The application from the Abney Park Cemetery
Company for the purchase of land at Golders Green
for the purpose of placing a cemetery there. A very
lengthy and exhaustive enquiry was held by the Home
Office; the Hendon District Council being directly
opposed to it from sanitary and other grounds.
Finally, the Home Office gave their decision that they
could not see their way to allow of the cemetery being
placed there. This is the second time this site has
been applied for for this purpose, and has been
refused both times.
(e) The extension of the Infectious Diseases Hospital.
(f) The exclusion of Measles and Whooping Cough from
the list of notifiable diseases. A special report upon
this matter is appended.
DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICTS.
As the Hendon Parish is a very scattered one, containing
district hamlets in different parts, I propose for the purposes of
my report to define these roughly and give them separately in
the different tables. Formerly, the divisions were simply Hendon,
Child's Hill, and Mill Hill Wards. When referring to a particular
district, say Hendon, it might be in the outlying district of
Burnt Oak, which, although part of Hendon Ward, is a distinct
sub-district. I propose also to give the estimated population of
these districts, and the number of deaths and the number of
cases of infectious diseases in each.
Central Hendon
Is defined by the river Brent on one side, from Dollis Brook
to Renter's Lane Bridge; and from Renter's Bridge to The Burroughs
Pond and Colin Deep Bridge.
