ANNUAL REPORT
FOR
1913.
TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE
URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL OF HENDON.
Ladies and Gentlemen,—
I have the honour of presenting to you my twenty-fourth
Annual Report upon the Health and Sanitary Condition of
the District, for the year 1913.
The Tables and Statistics furnished, and the matters
specially reported upon, are in accordance with the requirements
of the General Order of the Local Government Board,
etc.
As in previous years, a considerable increase has taken
place in the population, due to the erection and occupation
of new properties, although not so much activity has been
displayed in the building trade as in the last few preceding
years. Many new roads have been laid out on the Neeld
Estate in anticipation of the extension of the Golders Green
Tube Railway, and when a station is provided in the
neighbourhood, no doubt this estate will be rapidly built
upon.
During the 12 months' period under review, 587 new
dwellings have become occupied, increasing the population by
2,510 persons, and bringing the estimated population of the
district to 45,194.
