Housing of the Working Classes Act, 1890, — During
the year one cottage in Church Hill, Winchmore Hill, and one
in Hazelwood Lane, Palmers Green, were closed by the
owner at my requests.
The old insanitary cottages in the District are gradually
becoming fewer in number, and I am glad to report that
during the year a number of good-class cottages have been
built by private enterprise.
Public and Private Urinals. The Council has not provided
public conveniences in the District. An inspection
was made in 1906 of the whole of the sanitary conveniences
attached to the various publichouses, with the result that many
urinals have been rebuilt and put in a better sanitary condition.
The Council also improved the lighting of a number of such
urinals which are available for public use.
This work was, however, done more as a temporary
measure pending the time when public sanitary conveniences
would be provided.
The need of these in various parts of the District is
being felt more and more each year.
The Surveyor and Sanitary Inspector have reported on
several positions in which public sanitary conveniences might
advantageously be provided, and have also suggested the
provision of those for both sexes in Broomfield Park, with
access thereto from adjoining public highways.
The question is under the consideration of both the
Health and Park Committees.
Dairies, Cowsheds, and Milkshops. —These have been
inspected by the Sanitary Department.
Veterinary Examination of Milch Cows. Correspondence
has taken place between this Council and the Middlesex
County Council in reference to the systematic veterinary
examination of milch cows with a view to the discovery of
any cases of tuberculous disease of the udder.
