To the Chairman and Members of the Urban
District Council of Penge.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,
I have the honour to place before you the Annual Report
on the work of the Sanitary Inspectors for the year ended the
31st December, 1938.
Five hundred and fifteen written intimation notices and
38 Statutory Notices were served under the Public Health
Acts. In addition, notices were served for the periodical
cleansing of the following:—Bakehouses and Common
lodging-houses (semi-annual); and Slaughterhouses
(quarterly).
Four hundred and seventy-seven Intimation Notices
and 36 Statutory Notices were complied with. The Council
did the work required by 20 notices served under Section 24
of the Public Health Act, 1936.
Difficulty was experienced in 10 cases regarding nuisances
and the necessary works were effected only after summonses
had been served or threatened.
